I've been playing with different mounts and just switched to this combo which is rock solid. The mount is as beefy as a GoPro mount. You want a short solid arm and a thick suction cup that doesn't "rotate" with each bump.

For the guys running race pads:
My Carbotech XP10/XP8 didnt come with pad shims. Original shims don't fit them either.
Did you guys cut the original one to fit, or run no shim? Ideally I'd want something there..

Here's how mine sits right now
BIlstein PSS10 w/ KMAC camber plates. Dampening set at 8F, 5R
Whiteline adjustable end links
UPD rear camber/toe arms
Alignment settings:
Front:
Camber: -3.9
Caster: 10.8
Total toe: 0.32
Rear:
Camber: -2.2
Total toe: 0.3
Front and rear strut bars
Carbotech XP10 Front, XP8 rear
Stoptech SS lines
Motul RBF 600
Recaro GF-UP bucket seat
18x8.5 Volk TE37
Square 235/40/18 Maxxis RC1
Weighed on Proform scales at 3980 with 150lb driver and 3/4 tank of gas.
Havent had a full shakedown with this setup yet since COVID re-shut down our local racetracks.
Some changes I'll be doing eventually:
Square 255/35/18 (likely Nankang AR-1)
Weistec transmission pan
Oil catch can
Sven oil cooler

I'm sure it can get into the 3100lbs range. Yeah, all the HVAC stuff but the blower motor is still in there. I may yank the dash over the winter so I can pull all that stuff out. Then figure out mounting for the cluster, gauges etc.

Hoping to post on here soon. RMM is the closest track to me as long as it opens in time and covid doesn’t **** the bed anymore than it already has. Planning trips to Castrol in Edmonton hasn’t really panned out being 3 hours away. Awesome info so far and hopefully looking at being able to share some data points on here too once my experience on track matures a bit more.

hey guys, where are you currently buying your Carbotech's? since i'm full fat full weight E63, i'm going to opt for XP12's. the XP10's were great, but would be even more great if i had 500lbs or more less than what i currently have. also plan to add those AMG GT Sedan air deflectors and remove dust shields as them brakes were hotttttt.
