just wanted to share my experience. again, i am not professional... actually a beginner... been to this track 4 times only and 1 at button willow once... majority with different cars.

just finished a full day at willow springs - streets of willow with my car. oh man it was amazing.

good...

the car was completely controllable. the suspension setup was manageable to where i could semi handle it. i could not go full... but i was able to get close to my fastest time in my subaru legacy on the same track with summer tires.

running 360mm rotors, with posi quiet pads (ultra low cost ceramic) NEVER FADED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! super success!!!!!!! my idea worked... normal pads with good hardware... was enough to handle my level of driving!

bad...

power steering cut out... it would only cut out when i braked hard... and it was out for a few turns. it did over flow out of the reservoir a bit? goin to change fluids. i have new rack and pump? not sure why this happened?

even with my wavetrac lsd, i could not put my power down with 275 hankook evo2 v12 tires. sway bar + better rubber should solve this?

sway bars need to be stiffer the level of grip my tires had. going to look for the 3 position h&r sway bars possibly... i have the 2 position ones now.

front tires didn't have under steer problems like i thought... 235 azenis rt615k+, but i was at the limits... going to change to 245 hankook rs4 next for a bit more growing room?

 

wanted to add another good pick...

 

Love that track bern a few times myself. Wish I could go round it but I only have full stock. Plus its the convertible!

 

Nice car... And that must have been a great time......
