Superforged BBK done! If they come out with bigger rotors, I might purchase them. Even the 400mm doesn't fill-up the wheels

Just have to work around the strut bar, but that's easy to remove

Got the brakes bled today, even the Ford tech says it's not an easy procedure for the home mechanic. As I explained above, I could never get a hard pedal when bleeding. Unbeknowest to me, these brakes are not vacuum assisted, instead they are boosted by an electric motor. Hence the reason for...

Finished! Stock brakes vs BBK. The 22” wheels even make 400mm rotors look small. We need some 450mm to fill these wheels

True story man. Ingenuity vs “I can’t do it.” I’m going to make a longer post IRT bleeding

This is a reminder to everyone to get their car aligned ASAP after installing lower springs. I dropped the subframe, but on reinstall, you can see how the thrust angle and rear toe were way off. This has practically destroyed my rear tires. This is after about 500mi See below pics. The thrust...

I appreciate everyone chiming in. It's nice knowing people appreciate this. The plan for this weekend was to install the front brakes last night and test tonight. After installing the brakes, I attempted to bleed them. All the air bubbles pushed out, but the pedal still went to the floor. I did...

2:27 at RA is COOKING!! I'd love to be in the woods before Canada Corner and here that Voodoo screaming That time is massively impressive

ROFL. I only laugh because 1) you survived and 2) if you've ever done trackdays, you've done something boneheaded When you consider the car only has 2-piston calipers w/pistons on one side, it brakes something phenomenal. There isn't much to improve on more than what tires did. How was the ST...

Such a sexy, sexy car. And it makes one of, if not the best, vocal soundtrack What have you run for times at Road America and VIR? I've run both RA in NC Miata: 2:33.8 VIR in NC Miata: 2:04.7, stock Nismo 350z 2:08.xx

This round of tests was stock brakes on an upgraded tire. If I caused confusion, I apologize. Truth be told, 114ft stock from an SUV is hugely impressive, and it honestly doesn’t leave a whole lot to improve on. (Truth be told, I didn’t look-up stock numbers until I began writing last night. So...

First, I’m massively envious of you having a GT350. I had a Boss Laguna Seca, which I loved. The GT350 is on the wish list for next track car. Second, I’m glad to hear someone puts the car to good use. What tracks have you run with it? Lastly, what pads are you running? I’m assuming a...

7ft is huge. That’s half a car length. Less brake fade is absolutely ideal for track cars, but I doubt many of us are thrashing these cars on a road course, my hat off to anyone who does. I’m really curious how much more consistent the pedal will feel. Despite the pedal start feeling soft...

Draggy screenshots in-order of runs. The road I tested on is 3lanes on both sides with a large grass median. Thereare designated u-turn turnoffs every mile or so. So all stops were performed on the same road, in either direction. I think I got 2 or 3 stops before turning around and repeating in...

One of the great things about my new wheels is seeing the brakes; the downside, they’re puny. The upside, I get (need) bigger brakes! Through Lethal Performance, I ordered the Superforged BBK. The brakes arrived yesterday, and they are MASSIVE: 405mm (16”) front, 385mm (15”) rear. They’re...

And vice versa: I know little about air suspension, but a decent amount in spring/shock/sway bar/etc. Adding a front splitter should reduce lift, but be weary of aero balance Agree on rebound w/air suspension. Could you add air under compression to assist with rebound? The tough part would be...

I’ll be honest, I know near zero about air suspensions. From what I can guess, to raise the car, you increase pressure in the bags, which by nature, would “stiffen” the bag. In essence, raising the car, increases the spring rate. Lowering the car is the opposite A front bar would increase...
