Hey Joe, just click on your avatar in the top navigation bar (in your case there will likely be a big letter "A" since you don't have a photo uploaded for your avatar). From there, you'll click a link called "Account Details". That's where you can update your location - and upload an image of yourself or your car for your avatar.Thanks Bill! Yeah, I had the 10/8 combo on before and I like the more aggressive nature of the 16 up front for sure. I added my location in my signature bc I’m not entirely sure how to change it otherwise.
Joe, i love your ride.. its so close to my 2012. I finally got a new set of good pads G12 for the front and G10 for the rear. knowing what you do about S197 and those pads, what should i expect and where did i go wrong on the 12 / 10 combo? Oh yea, i love how you call out the cobra jet pulse ring, i have one too - gotta be a coyote OG for that!Thanks Bill!

Hey man, thanks! I like yours a lot too!! I felt that with the setup of brake bias on these cars I definitely needed a more aggressive pad up front to threshold brake consistently over a 20-25 min DE session. Pad wear was also not great with those lower compounds at all. I really liked my first outing on the 18s up front. A lot of bite but can still modulate.Joe, i love your ride.. its so close to my 2012.

I wonder if i would have gone with a R8 in back .. (or like R14 up front on the pad compound) they would be more balanced.. sounds like the rear was over braking vs. the front. Do you have the larger GT500 rotor in back?Hey man, thanks! I like yours a lot too!!

Nope, I don’t. I’ve thought about it but haven’t really saw the need. I did remove the rear backing plates after frying 2 axle seals prematurely.I wonder if i would have gone with a R8 in back ..
