  1. HPDE Wet Weather Tires

    The General RS is probably on par with or in-between the PSS and the PS4S/ECS in terms of wet grip. As far as dry grip/heat resistance, it's not as good as those 3 or even the indy500.
  2. HPDE Wet Weather Tires

    The PSS, PS4S, ECS, and even General Tire's G-Max RS are fare better in the wet than the Firestone Indy500.
  3. Let's Talk Aero

    Probably due to design/cosmetic compromises with the studio. It does have a pretty aggressive camber and AOA.
  4. rear lc relocation brackets.

    It was allowed. Re-read Post#14.Don't run it.
  5. rear lc relocation brackets.

    If you want to hurt grip and create no benefit. This one is good:https://www.cjponyparts.com/roush-third-link-wheel-hop-reduction-kit-2005-2010/p/UCA6/?gclid=CjwKCAjwzoDXBRBbEiwAGZRIeNbwU1FYzbwB_zU3z5E-4RfXiKp2rLDgzi7hYNeFCec0GTRfkTWl7xoCHqwQAvD_BwE
  6. rear lc relocation brackets.

    Try swapping out the Monoball 3rd link to a small diameter rubber 3rd link like the Roush one from one session to another. Youll be blown away with the rear grip difference.All the fast guys racing FR500C & 302Rs never ran Monoball 3rd links, including Andrew Aquilante who posts here.
  7. Rear Brake Hotspots

    The rear tires have very little vertical loading under braking, so they don't contribute much or need much torque to reach the limit of grip under braking. A big wing helps a lot but if you don't have one, your rear pad is way too aggressive and putting a street pad on the rear will improve your...
  8. rear lc relocation brackets.

    You need some compliance in the 3rd link, otherwise you'll greatly hurt rear grip.
  9. Rear Brake Hotspots

    Way too aggressive. Overworks the ABS and causes that. Throw some Hawk HP+ or Porterfield R4S's on the rear and you're good to go.
  10. Swapping rotors for the track?

    I'd just buy some PFC11s (which are compatible with that street PFC material) for track use.
  11. Let's Talk Aero

    PP2 has a 'spoiler', not a 'wing'. It makes some downforce unlike the 'wing'. Not a ton, but better than the PP1 wing.
  12. Rear Bump Stops

    Fine yes, but removing them is 'more' important for lowered cars and running better tires. You can still likely benefit from cutting them down or removing them on a stock spring/tired car, but it's not going to be as crucial.
  13. Rear Bump Stops

    I already responded to stock spring rates/ride heights.Its interesting to note that some OEM cars are designed to engage the bumpstops in cornering to add more rate to adjust the handling. Some BMW's engage the front bumpstops to help induce entry understeer purely in terms of...
  14. Let's Talk Aero

    Fwiw, the PP1 wing does not make any downforce. It actually has an upsidown Gurney flap to prevent making downforce.
  15. Rear Bump Stops

    Correct, if you don't hit them, removing them will not do anything. The stock bumpstops are fine for stock springs and ride height. As you lower the car and increase grip, the reduction of travel becomes a big issue, especially over bumps or vertical loading from a banked corner or elevation...
