Thanks guys for the suggestions and comments!
I was planning to just replace the rear brakes (same brake pad: EBC Red Stuff) for now and I will buy a set of track pads next time I go. As for the rotors, I'm wondering if resurfacing / replacing is necessary if I just drop in a new set of brake pads and bed them in properly? Maybe, I should get them looked by a professional to determine the severity. As for the VDC issue, how does the car behave on track if it's turned off? Is the difference quite significant with handling/braking? |

Word of warning, If you don't know what the car will do with VDC off you shouldn't turn it off. Play around in a really large parking lot with the VDC off and try to pitch it sideways and hold it there while your making a turn (foot on the gas and about 25 mph). Give yourself lots of room (like 150 ft all around you) because the car will wip around the other way when it recovers and you'll be going backwards with your foot on the brake trying to stop before you hit something.
This is what an upgraded LSD fixes. Stiff swaybars help make it more controllable.
