Unless by 'went up against' you mean had a bass-drop battle with your stereos.... Yeah, it's kind of against site rules to speak of anything regarding on-road shenanigans vs. other cars. Track adventures and what you did on a twisty road all by your lonesome seem just fine tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a long time since I've been on a track and it would've been a hoot to have two wagons there. Love the stance of yours. What springs/ struts, or coilovers? Thanks, I've been enjoying the way she sits, couldn't imagine being any lower. I'm running STI wagon pink springs with Koni yellow dampers. It would've been great having another wagon out there! She definitely got a good amount of love from all the Porsche guys there! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, your height and wheel flushness is spot on. What wheel width & backspace are you running? That's a perfect fit from my perspective. I've had people ask me if my stock spec.B is lowered. I guess it sits low enough for now. That comment is making it easier for me to focus on putting money on things other than lowering, though.

DoctorDaveLGT Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Powder coater sent me an update on the Bremboi's. Should be picking them up next week. Decided to go with Candy Blue and bright silver logo's. I really like how the logo is actually powder coated on and not just a sticker or other. Still waiting on a few parts to arrive before install but I'm itching to get this project done - honestly went way overkill but screw it. Going with Endless MX72 Plus pads F&R, Endless SS lines, Paragon 2-piece front rotors, Girodisc 2-piece rear rotors (couldn't find a manufacturer that makes a full 2-piece set) along with the STI BMC & booster. Hopefully should have everything delivered mid-November, so it can be installed right before it gets put away for the winter . Oh and the tuning is 99% done. Just working on improving cold starts due to an exorcism of things that thou shall not be mentioned. Wagon rips though, still need to do a log to see how quick I can get to full boost. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoozeRS05 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I changed over to STi rear parking brake shoes when I did my Brembo conversion. Not the most fun job, but provided me an opportunity to update/replace a lot of the rusty brake components back there. RockAuto has cheap rear parking brake hardware kits.

I've got tbSTI rear backing plates going on at install and they have identical parking brake dimensions to the STI's so you can have your pick of the litter for rear rotor choice, which is nice. The only thing Girodisc mentions is that the brake pads may need to be shaved. The ones they sell have it done already but I didn't want to have different brake pads f&r which pushed me towards Endless. That, and everything I read online were people raving about the Endless pads. @BoozeRS05 tagging you so you don't miss this.

xt2005bonbon Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) All I know is I am NOT raving about my stoptech pads with stoptech rotors. Lots of pulsation problems during hard braking. I hate it. Apparently, there's no fix . I know my caliper pistons and sliding pins are all fine. Pads are evenly worn too.
