Thats good info. what is the proffered camber plate? (i"ll do a search also) I like to think i'm fairly fast, but this will be my first season in this car so i'm sure i wont be too fast to start. FWD to RWD i'm told is a whole new ballgame.
My MOD plan so far for a weekend tracker is;
-shims and pads, bummer about the pistons on these calipers. (i was using Carbotech xp12 in VW, probably will stick with this)
-SS brake lines & Fluid.
-Cooling - could use some suggestions here
-Camber plates
-Rims & Tires - stagger? or square? always a good debate.
I already installed a JB4 with intake and DP, couldnt resist the HP/TQ claim  seat of pants dyno approved it.
I'm getting amped for a track day, been off for about a year. |
Welcome to our fold. There's a lot of good info on this forum as you may already found out. General consensus on best camber plates is vorshlag. For getting some cooling for the rotors, I have cut the splash shield behind the rotor and bend it to scoop air to the rotors. It works pretty well! I've been tracking this car for the last 3 years and I'm still on my original pistons. I don't think I can get another season out of them but you can get upgrade pistons and seals for our calipers.
As far as square v stagger, square will give you more neutral handling and option to rotate and prolong your rubber use. Be careful with your added HP/TQ. It'll bite you in the ass if you're not careful w the throttle. The car can be a beast on track! Have fun wrangling her
