New here, and seems to be the place to be....
Short history, started HPDE last fall at NJMP,
After 10 days went and bought a
1998 Trans Am, which was built by Wheel to Wheel in Detroit,
ran Motorola/Rolex GT 1998-2002, then became ITe/AIX car.

Now it's a HPDE /Track DayCar
THat I am TRYING TO SORT>>>>>>>>>>>maybe TT in the future..

MAJOR ISSUE: BRAKES SHI**TY............Must hit pedal 2x's to set up for turn....
Specs:
1998 Trans Am / 392 RWHP LS6 / Son of TransZilla T56 (yea that was a 5k mistake, visit that later)
SLP Konis, rear adjustable seats, Front NASCAR sway bay, Rear Blade Sway Bar
17x11 CCW275/40 17 R1's

Need insight on how to make this car brake as well as my 13' 1LE Camaro
currently , WW 6SLR fronts, new rotors, new hats, PBR rears
Corner balanced to 49.8 % a week ago, (still LF ride height 3/4 lower, so I screwded up
my first attempt!!!)
Car has proven history,
looking for insight on how to make right!!
Thanks from new guy,

Really appreciate all the input from everyone,
met a really nice guy looking to build an AI car, here in NJ,
He came up to see, and get some directions.............

Still pending brake issues , and todays findings....

After 5 track sessions, front pads were wooped, contacted wildwood,
said were bp-10 pads, and , as such , would be trashed, but rotor life is wonderful....
Reco'd "h" compound, due to being frugal, WW are substantially less, than the Carbotech XP-12 I installed today,
Checked front hubs, all good,

Question, here come to bias,
the l/r rotor, which was D/a'd prior to track day, still shows sanding marks,
L/r pad is worn barely, r/r is abt 60%
have an issue here with L/r not working, no spongy pedal, just lo9w pedal on first hit.

I need to get this fixed, all input helps..

Currently rear calipers are marked PBR KZ41-046C6
Brackets are marked K332-071c5

Could the pin guide be worn in the brackets?

If anyone has appropriate part number to order , please provide, need to get fixed..

Rotors are currently 11.5 DIa/.8 thick,
If there is an upgrade , please provide...
thx

Ironically, when I was at a NASA event at Pocono (actual points paying race weekend, not just a track day event) a few years ago, and asked if there were ANY CMC/CMC2, or AI/AIX cars in the region, they all looked at me as if I should be in a straight jacket, and had NO clue what those classes were!!

Hopefully that has, or will be changing in the future.
