Who's making the move to STU?

Brendan · 04-09-2019, 07:45 AM

Here's a link to my video from my first event with the car over the weekend. The car felt really consistent despite not yet having the corner balance done. Ride height went up with fresh tires to just under 27" on each corner. I didn't take data at this event as the course drove more like a road course with way fewer transitions than an average autocross course.

Over the rest of the season I just want to optimize what I have and become accustomed to the much higher limits of the vehicle. square 18x10.5s are scheduled for next season.

Not with this set-up. I have in the past when the car was 100% stock. After this event, The car feels like it could take a more aggressive pad, but I need to research what will work best for my application.

Thank you for the follow

I've got Ferodo DS2500's on mine. They're not overly bitey but still have good stopping power. Also been hearing people running EBC blue stuff pads with good success.

Also when you get bored, slap a set of Hoosiers on and come over and play in BSP. Purple crack is so much more fun than street tires.

Thank you for the recommendation on pads. I'll take look at the Ferodo line.
Are you running the same compound front and rear?
