Last year I hit the track again and sorta kept track with a blog type thing in a thread on another forum. figured I copy paste it here and then keep it up to date.

well I think I finally reached the end of my braking ordeal.
(IMG:http://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/ls1tech.com-vbulletin/960x540/80-brakes_204_zpsowvdpchh_6e232c6e86dafe8e3e2fa49d14ca5969fbd0099a.jpg) 14" 5th Gen Stoptech Cryogenic frozen rotors, with center bore machined out to 70.6mm for 4th gen hub Gen 1 CTS-V Brembo 4 Piston Calipers Hawk HP+ Pads Kore3 Stainless and coated lines Huge difference over stock (IMG:http://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/ls1tech.com-vbulletin/960x540/80-brakes_201_zps3xe0bn1o_3e991bc791c28c9d567c1db942ad427d41b4f50c.jpg) (IMG:http://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/ls1tech.com-vbulletin/1024x576/80-brakes_205_zpsyqbzbqjd_7ca08d08f13d17d72b8ee6fccfe5cc82c89e67b9.jpg) well after fitting the brakes and after all my research the new brakes wouldn't clear my wheels. diameter had about .1" which I was fine with, but the fat lip and the +25 offset, the spokes wouldn't clear the new huge calipers. enough spacer to clear the calipers made the tires stick out 2". So I had no choice but new wheels. cheapest wheels with the specs I needed were these Black Chrome C6 Spyder wheels. 18x9.5 +40 offset. (IMG:http://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/ls1tech.com-vbulletin/960x857/80-brakes_202_zpsxxbffgtk_38a4d8d97da34c5c37843bc7841a18d98347b198.jpg) after getting the wheels in and test fitting them, I took them in to get my old tires transferred to these wheels. well they were so dry rotted the beads were just ripping as they tried to get them off the old wheels. (date stamp on tires was 200 so I had no choice but to order tires. this "cheap" big brake upgrade was adding up now. figured I may as well go with something sticky, but wanted to still keep street stock legal (200 min tread wear) so I went with the Hankook Ventus R-S3 V2 tires. 285/35/18 Lots of great track reviews especially for there price. there as wide as my old BFG 295s (IMG:http://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/ls1tech.com-vbulletin/960x540/80-brakes_203_zpsmrqsjlf1_46661cbed132e18ff92d0f9ff34dfc42c051b353.jpg) finished up (IMG:http://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/ls1tech.com-vbulletin/1024x708/80-new_20wheels_201_zpsbosvezqm_4a0b2e2749d5759fc8469a4ba0dc02518b80a07c.jpg) (IMG:http://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/ls1tech.com-vbulletin/690x1024/80-new_20wheels_202_zpsk4hxhkm4_a2a00a9b8a4056d190cf48eafd74025b9f95d512.jpg) (IMG:http://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/ls1tech.com-vbulletin/1024x690/80-new_20wheels_203_zpsv6blojz3_f0a490f43790f76986c030ebffd8b5ada0ce85f4.jpg) (IMG:http://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/ls1tech.com-vbulletin/1024x690/80-new_20wheels_204_zpsdqzagskd_e154849bb418738f00bd9d9a94f7a761900b1b66.jpg) bedding in test drive showed a lot of promise. I think I may need harness's now... |
