    Looking for brake pad recommendations for track driving

    I first looked at replacement pads for tracking to address the concern of potential brake fad. Then I learned what they are really about. It's the increase stopping power that makes them needed by those that are driving hard on the track.

    New blackwing with precision, toe links?

    Track specific toe links - only needed for getting aggressive with the camber. As you drive faster, camber will become very important.

    CT4-V CT4BW JB4 Review on 91 Oct with Datalog

    Slowing me down? Oh no, that's not me. That is the John Heinricy during the final laps of the 2023 SCCA T-2 Run Offs. That's the best of the best showing what our Blackwings are capable of. Here's the full race.

    You need a lot of camber to make them work. I'm going with 3.7 front and 2.1 rear. In the back you need to remove the rear shock dust boot and trim the edge off the upper bumper cup as the tire can hit it and get cut. Opps! Don't forgot the Camaro solid rear cradle mounts. Hoping to have...

    Yes, they can fit. Watch this - this 4BW is running 295 and 315 Hoosier A7's. Yeah, spicy!

    CT4-V CT4BW JB4 Review on 91 Oct with Datalog

    I can't help you with that, busy working on it myself. However, if I could drive a Lamborgini at 90% I'd be faster than the professional driver driving a 4BW at 100%. So I'm going to work on bettering the car, while also bettering myself. Here's a hot lap at VIR with just camber and tires...

    CT4-V CT4BW JB4 Review on 91 Oct with Datalog

    Suspension: camber plates, toe links, sway bars and springs Brakes: full race pads on the front Tires: you can go as far as 295 front and 315 rears. You'll shave a lot more off your lap times with handling improvements than you will by increasing power.

    Yes, I bought the ATS-V camber plates. Needing the longer bolts is what I've heard. I also recently got sway bars, Swift Spec R springs and SPL toe links. Hopefully everything goes in next week. Lastly I've ordered 18x10's with 15mm offset and 18x11's with 45mm offset. I'm going with 295's...

    Neebs - so what have you done for camber? I've been driving this summer with 2.7 front and 1.7 rear and it feels fine/nice for daily driving.

    CT4-V CT4BW JB4 Review on 91 Oct with Datalog

    You can just barely feel the difference of each level, but you can. I've been on map 3 for several months and 3 track days - running great. 93 octane day to day, with some 100 race gas added making about 95 octane for track days. Decided not to do the BCM, as I don't want to ask more of the...

    PDR operation

    Fantastic! Thanks

    PDR operation

    Is there a control somewhere to turn off the sound recording of the PDR and only record video? I ask because I know someone whose PDR is only recording video. Has anybody else encountered this?

    Wanted CT4-V Blackwing wheels

    Thanks for the offer, but over the past 6 months I ended up going in another direction. I recently ordered 18x10 and 18x11 wheels so I can go with wider tires.

    For anyone using wheel spacers...

    What wheels setup did you go with such that your needing spacers?

    CT4 Blackwing at Sonoma

    Have you done brake pads yet? Go with a full race on front(non-street) and an aggressive street pad for the back. They make a big difference when trying to push back your braking points. Supposedly your not supposed to use race pads on the street, but I'm finding them to be fine for daily...

    For anyone using wheel spacers...

    Use Chevy truck studs. They're about 12mm longer than OEM and work great.
