  1. How long are your track day tires lasting?

    At your insane grip and pace that sounds about right. I'm running a used set of A052 (a couple sessions and some AutoX before I got them - they were on a set of wheels I grabbed) on stock suspension without aero -- and I mean, tread depth is fully gone after 6 sessions, and I rotated them...
  2. Type R Spring Track Day - May 24-25, 2025 VIR

    I'm not, I have a Time Attack out in WA that same weekend. Need to get the points
  3. Type R Spring Track Day - May 24-25, 2025 VIR

    I have so many friends going to this event -- plus all of you -- argh :(

    Damn...I'll need to cut a hole for the EVS Tow Hook:eek:
  5. 2024 Season: Brake Hardware Recap

    I've noticed the same -- and IIRC it was more so on the inner right pad for me -- but that might be track/use dependent, as that's the side that is loaded up the most. I flip my pads every few events. I flip outside to inside opposite side of car, and vice versa in order to maximize pad life.
  6. Brake Pad Manufacturer/Model Compilation Thread

    CSG now offers the C1XB for the front -- it's the new preferred track compound: SKU: Compound: C1X SKU: CSG.1001.16.C1XB Price: $490

    They at least fixed the angles. The original design looked like they were made by a blind person with how awfully they didn't match the body lines. I still think they stick out a bit too far, and I'd much rather a gloss black than carbon fiber finish (but that's a personal preference). The...

    That's per rotor FYI

    In that case, maybe keep it to the *The FL5 Mountain Junkie Thread*
  10. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    No one is providig incorrect information. A Limited Lifetime Warranty on V3 does not cover track use -- I've seen the communications from KW about it. No one is discussing rebuild service -- I'm speaking critical failure - severed shock bodies. You can take anyone's recommendation you want. It...

    You don't have to believe it. I'm not forcing you too, but it doesn't change the reality. I'm glad you like KW, truly, enjoy it. That doesn't mean I have to recommend it to others, and you also have to be okay with that. I ran Fortune520's (I was the dev car and they were free), and JRZ RS Pro...
  12. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    I'm glad you had positive results -- no one is discounting your personal experience. I run the Supra A90 track group, and it was an unfortunate regular occurrence across all their consumer offerings -- to the point it became a unanimous "please don't buy" every time someone brought it up. I...
  13. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    yea….I won’t go near KW, unless it’s something from their motorsports department. The consumer grade options have gone way down hill and are riding on the name. Their CS was atrocious when it came to the A90 issues too - which were plentiful and critical failures.
  14. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    KW's were notoriously spotty on the A90. RSR worked consistently, but not sure if they are available for the FL5

    GiroDisc makes a kit -- I just must try that at some point
  16. 2024 Season: Brake Hardware Recap

    No, he just was a bit too aggressive on he brakes and slapped ABS a ton.
  17. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    My opinion on the Airtec because it's in a location that is likely to result in a catastrophic failure in the event of an off-track excursion. It sits below the body line. Even the G8X BMWs which run a floor flush-mounted oil cooler run into failures in that location. The HEL is just first to...
  18. Racing the FL5 Type R with all OEM spec parts on Laguna Seca

    The HO will definitely have HO stamped on the sidewall. I've had them. They are also both 240TW...the HO is not lower treadwear. Keep an eye on the center out rib...it's going to get torn up with understeer. Kinda standard Cup2 bullsh*t, but it's amplified on FWD with minimal camber
  19. *The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

    I'd be hard pressed to run that oil cooler on the floor -- that's asking for a disaster
