[QUOTE="Splatter, post: 13406528, member: 138814"] Had another track day this weekend (sorry still no working video). I followed your advice and left the fronts on 4 and rears on three. Running with 275/35-19 front and stock rear. The cars was easier to handle with nice rotation on late braking into the corners, I guess with these sizes I have almost migrated to a square tire setup!! My biggest failing was in my braking. This event was at another track very similer to the one shown in the thread. After 10 min, at the end of the straight I over heated the brakes again and the peddle went right to the floor, we only get to 175 km/hour. But it left me with brake shy which in turn makes things worse. This is with brake ducts, PFZ pads and ATE blue. Ordering Castrol SRF and will practice hard late braking for a shorter period, but having the pedal go slack has affected my confidence in braking quiet a bit.:bash: Would going to a DBA 5000 disc help much? or better wait till the stock discs wear out before changing? Though long and hard about tires, I the end I think I will go with Dunlop DIrezza ZII in 275/35-19, probably on 19x9.5 Drift wheels. Wanted to go with 18 inch but seen a lot of cars with flats at the track lately and wanted to keep just one rim size so I would have spares. Running square would I have to leave the rear shock setting even softer or better to loosen the rear sway bar? Still want to be able to drive to the track and the roads are not good! But I did get invited to a racing team so now I have at least one event a month. My time at this track was 58.7, a team mates modified 550hp Camaro SS was 56.6 and a ZL1 was 55.5. The winner was a highly modified Evo with a semipro driver at 54.3. Still got a long way to go I guess.... No GT-R present thank god!! [/QUOTE]
