I swear I saw a a thread or mention of it (so if someone has the link that'd be great...), but is it worth it to upgrade from four piston to six piston Brembos?

I think you will be fine, often going to a two piece slotted rotor and a more aggressive pads is often enough. There are quite a few machines out there that can stop on a dime that only have four piston set-ups. Heck, mine does, ha,ha.

Holy cow, what kind of forum voodoo is this? Merging build threads? This is awesome but I really need to fix those Photobucket pics...

Consider requesting an Omaha stationing ( Bellevue ) as that means you would have three course each respectively within 30 minutes, 2 hours and 3 hours. Sounds pretty promising, right, with the extra plus of being 60 miles from the Solo Nationals site for plenty of Autocrossing too! Just saying, ha............

Looks like I'll be heading back to Cali sometime this summer. Kind of disappointed, I abhor Kalifornia, but I'll be right down the road from Willow Springs so that's good.

If you’ll be that close to Willow Springs, Buttonwillow will be relatively close as well. I really like their legacy track a lot, and they have a brand new 10-turn circuit that will be completed early next summer. Not a bad place to be!

That will be cool. This will be my second time living in the area so I'll get to make up for missing out on stuff the first time around.
