but I swapped to the drilled/slotted rotors. It all started with a pad swap to get rid of a ridiculous amount of brake dust and for a few bucks more.....

I also dropped it with BMR springs. I highly recommend their rear suspension cradle lockout also, it takes a lot of slop out of the rear end and handling is much improved. Wheel hop also. I put in Steeda shock mounts at the same time, which are also worthwhile.

And so it begins. Kev's poor wallet...

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

Yeah, he's basically make the beast with two backsed.  [laugh]

I had a shifter ball before my car hit the dealership. I didn't plan on doing much to it from there. Thousands of dollars and many hours of wrenching later.... [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

I'm thinking the CFO didn't factor in the mods. ;D

They rarely do...
But to be fair,... They are rarely kept 100% in the loop in this area.

Well....if the parts make it to the shop unseen, it never happened.

Thanks. Yes, it's a PP car, but I swapped to the drilled/slotted rotors. It all started with a pad swap to get rid of a ridiculous amount of brake dust and for a few bucks more.....

Been reading about the lockouts and vertical links and what not.

Is any of that worth it if the car never sees a track?

No no no, you’re going about it all wrong. None of it has anything to do with mods being worth it or not. It’s not ‘need’...It’s simply ‘want’.  [evil]  $25k should about do it.  ;)

Based on what I've read, the vertical links are only necessary for road course or high-powered strip cars. Overkill for the street, IMO.

Cradle lockout is the first thing I'd do to one of these cars, big payoff.
