Selling Shelby baer extreme 6 piston brakes New 2450 shipped retail over 3k if you want even better brakes. You should have no fade at all solid one piece caliper
You should be fine if you stick with the Brembo's and use a better pad, if you're serious about scrubbing as much time as possible you would want to go with 18's so you have as little rotational mass as possible. Same with the rotors and driveshaft.
Thanks, I was surprised to see that the weight of the BFG rivals was 31 pounds for 275/35-18. The Michelin PSS are 25 pounds in the same size. No idea why the Rivals are so heavy. Amazing that with light wheels and tires you can save at least 10 lbs a corner. 40 lbs unsprung!
The dbas are nice to have, but they aren't going to shave time off.
Like others have suggested, higher spring rates and better dampers will help to some extent, but I doubt as much as others claim. Main things you need on are better tires, pads, and your cooling ducts...and go get more seat time and instruction. Your money is better spent at the track than on the car. Save the rest of the money for more tires and pads and instruction.
Last time you went, were you able to use 2nd gear for the last turn? Do you have more videos to compare? Were you using the whole track width? Are you heel-toe downshifting?
Spending money is easy. Becoming a better driver is not.
The drop from the tire diameter change is divided by 2. So it's 1.4" for the springs and .7" from the tires. Total drop would be 2.1"

Better times then the last open track but braking was very soft so had to lift off a long way from the two slowest curves.
That link didn't work for me. Use the public video link for the video.
Splatter I would reach out to Van of Revan Racing on the GT500 portion he does Texas Mile and Track Racing and can probably get your brake situation taken care of he's also a Griggs Dealer. He has some progression videos of his 13 GT500 and the the changes he made to get it ready for the track. I'd give him a call.
