I was going to get a set of re 71's as well but i feel like when i drive a few hours to the track, they will wear down more than i would like.

Mps4s hands down. Love mine

I have 4s right now and they're great, you will need 2 laps to heat them up but they stick pretty damn good, and I'm not too bad at the end of the season on treadwear on them. I believe they're at 5/32 on all 4 corners.

Not too bad, it really depends on the track, if the track is mostly left turns or right turns, it's going to wear no matter what, not to mention if its asphalt or cement.

The one i do is considered very technical, all tight turns. Ugh. Lol maybe i should get dedicated tires for it.

Well my list of parts needed keeps growing... I need new tires, wheels, rotors, & pads. And today i ran over a large piece of metal, it looked like a car part. I tore up the underbody pretty good. I sense an insurance claim soon...

Why new wheels?

They have been problematic for me with bends. I keep fixing them so its time to sell them before it happens again. I hate Michigan Roads.

Insane435 · 10-15-2018, 11:58 AM

Well just confirmed the damages: I need a passenger wheel liner, passenger under body cover, passenger lower control arm, possibly various brackets, and an alignment. The front bumper also got chipped pretty good, but that is on the bottom . It may have been time for a bumper respray anyways. We will see what happens.

Run square setup and grab 18 inch wheels, I run 18x9 ET30 245/40/18s all year round as my winter and track setup and it runs great. Also takes potholes really damn good.

Im getting 18s for track and winter for sure. Still going to run 19s in the summer but will be extra careful i guess. The car is probably done for the year. Some updates will come once i get it back from the dealer with the road hazard damages fixed.

Insane435 · 11-14-2018, 08:26 AM

I finally got my car back from the dealer. I need to recode everything I had because they updated I-levels when doing the steering rack programming. Other than that, everything else appears fine. Going to get it home and store it for the winter.

I need to decide on 2 new sets of wheels. 18s for winter and track and 19s for summer. I have to drive it starting March 1st and will also drive it next winter.

I am thinking a set of those replica 763M wheels and possibly a set of VMRs. I am just not sure which ones to run for summer v winter.

Insane435 · 12-18-2018, 11:54 AM

I have a laundry list of items to take care before this thing gets back on the road. I just recently ordered Forgestar f14s to replace my current summer wheel setup. Pictures will follow when they get delivered.

This thing is beautiful

Interesting - you went with blanks on the M Perf brakes?

Going to be installing my orange kit soon.

Yeah I know dimpled/slotted make noise - interesting choice. Did you wear the original m perf rears out?

I have never ran OEM m perf rears. I just decided to replace the rears since I did pads. I have life left on my last pair and will maybe put them on when these wear out, although i bought from FCP euro, so they are lifetime. These are zimmerman rotors. Very cost effective. To me a rotor is a rotor, just make sure the hat is coated properly and you should be good.

I almost agree that a rotor is a rotor - since the M Perf calipers are fixed with no floating pins it's pretty important to have a rotor that's floating. Are the zimmerman also floating?

what do you mean by floating rotor? The m perf calipers are fixed calipers. The rotor is the same whether its a fixed or floating caliper. (different sizes though)
Do you mean vented rotors?

No, all of the rotors are vented. The rotors for all brembo brakes are floating - notice the rivets holding the friction material to the hat.

This allows the friction material and rotor hat to move a bit, since the caliper can't.
