since he hasn't responded yet, I'll repeat what Lobux said in a previous thread somewhere.... (i think his famous thread reccomending what to do to "track ready" your car, etc)
Basicly the nannies will frequently apply the brakes and then they overheat in a track environment and then brake fade will be a factor...
Hopefully he'll correct me if i misspoke....

I turn off the stability controls. On a tight track like CMP they'll fade the front brakes before you know it.

No traction control, with the right tires you will never need it. I accidentally left it on during one lap and it was brutal how much it takes you out of it.

4 more weeks till 2-peice rotors get here. We are also planning on an OSGiken LSD swap. Amsoil Dominator oil to see if it has any impact on oil temps.

We will start NASA HPDE (from the bottom) on the 15th.
More vids and pics to come.

^ I have found the right tires now (MPSS). TC off is yielding great results. Thanks!

Yes as soon as we get the final costs broken down they will be up. The fronts will be first with the rears coming after.
Pricing will be around $1300 for the fronts which is still significantly less than anything else from Japan.

Still working on releasing the penske shocks but its been tough since all their tech guys are deployed supporting the F1 and Indy teams.
