Re brakes... that's exactly what I meant, sorry if i was unclear... I'm going to upgrade the pads, change to ATE high-temp fluid, but that's it for now... will do slotted rotors if i ever start getting fade or if the stock set wears out, but i think the calipers do their job well... my sense is that big brake kits are a lower priority vs everything else
Missed the water temp question... it was dead-nuts in the middle of the gauge the entire day ! Water cooling is robust on this car ! ask me again in July (arizona) !
Re handling per RCZ... you're absolutely right, it is a simple weight transfer issue, i should have thought of that... i was thinking uneven braking b/c it always seemed to break loose to the right, but that's b/c i was turning slightly left... the boxster is the only car i've tracked before this one and I was used to the heavier mid/rear and extremely stable trail braking... I believe you're right that a stiffer suspension and some practice will help me manage this better. if it continues to be an issue for me, perhaps I can have the brake bias front-rear tweaked ?
And, yes, all the fluids in the car were 100% as set by nissan / dealer
Cheers
