Had my 1M for a few months now,allthough not used her much.lowered the car the other day with some H&R springs,Lightweight front lip and some gloss black kidney grilles.got my first trackday booked with her next May at Spa and will also go via Nurburgring for a couple of laps no doubt,next thing is to upgrade the brake pads and fluid,then some stickier tyres once the PS2's are burned out,dont think that should take so long

Brake pads you will need for sure.Last summer i drove in Nurburgring and played inside for some laps and pads were off.

For sure,they fade away on the road,so definitely require for the track,probably fit Ferodo DS3000 or DS1.11,hopefully the calipers are upto the job

You will be fine with these pads and standard calipers. Been to Spa twice with this set up and didn't encounter any issues apart from needing new pads when I got home.

Thanks, I just found that thread myself.\

Don't you have any problems with it and the lowered suspension on your B roads?
Mine is stock but I happened to scrub my frontspoiler twice already(downtown speedbumps)

So far,so good,the spoiler has scrubbed and is nice and strong.so pleased I went this option,for sure a deeper carbon one would be long gone,finishes the bumper off nicely and this one seems very durable and not expensive in comparison to carbon items,ideally,I'll fit coilovers at some point

Edit to add,this splitter is only 10mm(approx) thick and doesn't hang out much either,so can't see it being a problem,looks well engineered and is a nice fit

Ok Martin see you there then and there should be a couple more 1M's that day

[LuuZ]

Me for example
Hi willox, brake upgrade is needed on track to avoid fading and have a stronger and longer braking power.
I have Textar TMD Friction (M Sport pads) and happy with those, except some noise at low speed
See ya the 27th at the MLR Spa so

Cool,looking forward to it,you guys sorted with a pit garage? There are a few cars going from my area,only myself with the 1M,other mates have Evos and GTR,maybe get some passenger laps from you guys,only done this track once before in 2011 with my old Renault R26R,great fun,underpowered for Spa,awesome place
