Default RacingBrake 2pc rotors and Carbotech XP8 install

Day 1 was unbelievable. I'm officially hooked. The difference after adding the 2 pc rotors, Carbotech pads, and square 275/35R18 RE-71R setup is crazy. It is a totally different car. I experienced zero brake fade even on the 4th session running full out for 20 minutes. I was hitting between 141-143 mph on the long straight. Oil temps were pretty consistent at 5 bars, but hit 6 bars for a few seconds on the last session. I'm pretty sure that that is the ISF's weakest link. It was approx 85 degrees for the last 2 sessions.

Now I know I have a fair amount of mods, but I still eagerly accepted the instructor's praise. He is a 20 year racing veteran who currently races a 2010 (?) M3. He was amazed at the ISF's speed and grip. He said the balance was way better than his M3...though I'm pretty sure that is mostly because of the tires, diff and coilovers.
^this. Makes me do the happy dance! Glad you had a blast! Best of luck tomorrow!! Smooth is fast, download Harry's lap timer, you won't regret it. (Thanks I8ABMR)
