Any brakes should be able to exceed the tires' grip as evidenced by ABS activation...
...at least once!
And no brake can generate more braking force than the tires grip.Being able to apply the brakes repeatedly and effectively up to the tires' grip limit, especially while on grippy tires is...
if the strut nuts are backed off there's play between the camber plate and chassis. The camber is free to change too. Jack one side, lift you wheel firmly and watch everything moving!And don't rely on the camber scale on the plates for alignment, that's just a reference and may not be exact...
I'm interested too. Soon I'll have the Gen 1 out of my wrecked ' 14 to transplant to my '13 project. To my knowledge it still runs fine but while it's out would be a great time to upgrade.
With the car lowered 1-1/2" in the rear there won't be much room for suspension travel. You'll need to cut or replace the bump stops with shorter (firmer). You might find hitting the stops to be even rougher than those P springs. And the car will not handle at all well if riding on the stops in...
All good advice above. I'll just add that running E85 may exacerbate the issue a bit as fuel demand is greater. Are you running a return or returnless fuel system?
There is a barely perceptible weave when catching the light just right, I didn't even notice it at first glance. Since I'll be priming/painting it anyway I don't think it'll take much to hit it with a coat of primer/filler and block it smooth first though.
14 lbs. vs 22 lbs for a 2014 hood. I think the carbon might be a little stronger though, and even at that mine flexes a bit. Haven't road tested yet to see how well it holds shape, but others here may have experience and more info.
I'm guessing that part is made of polypropylene, similar S197 parts are. Polypropylene can be difficult to bond but with a quick search I found this stuff which sounds like it might do the trick. If you go this route don't just glue the fractured edges together. The break is on a flat surface so...
The leading edge of pads will wear faster than the trailing edge in a caliper with equal sized piston, that's why racing calipers often have staggered piston sizes. That much taper after a single track day suggests that your pad compound is not up to the heat they're seeing and/or more brake...
You can't go wrong with the Vorshlag plates. Maybe not "bang for the buck" but highly regarded around here, definitely not "junk".
To get close to 3° you may need to open the hole at the top of the strut tower too.
I don't trust camber bolts so much.
If you do, be aware that fenders like these are far from ready to bolt on and paint. They are not as rigid as the OEM and flex/bow/twist when trying to match up the body lines and gaps. Getting one spot right tends to introduce errors elsewhere. Mine need several shims, some edge trimming, a...
