mate, whack on some small brakes, go the 16's or even 15's and get rubber to suit, some soft suspension and away you go. If your chasing the times i believe thats the direction you'd want to be thinking in. The holeshot is the secret to getting that strong 10.

^^^^

Jme i will look into it, but i will have to weigh up the costs of doing this. At this stage i think the sti 17s and standard suspension would probaly be the best bet.


Get launch control sorted also and i think that we will see much improved times, coming..

I have 4 pots and 16's you are more then welcome to borrow Tino. Your only cost will be taking them off mine and returning when your done.

To be 100% honest I wouldnt want any smaller - stopping it from 138-140 mph on two pots would be "interesting"

yep you're only hard braking once, put some fresh pads in there and it'll pull up fine.

Im surprised it stopped by the end Hehe top night that one, but a very good display of how much better the 4's are.

Tino, if its a bolt on deal to go up to brembos.. surely its a bolt on to go down ?
