Buy the carbon ceramics if you’re not going to track. The rotors will last the life of the car. If you buy the track version of a car expect to get track components.

Bad idea as you’ll have a different compound burnished on the rotors that may be incompatible with the other brakes. Carbotech makes pads that are all compatible to fix this problem (meaning you can switch from low dust street to track pads & back bc they’re all compatible compounds without...

OEM m2 brakes are garbage. Every single person I know that tracks theirs tosses them as they overheat easily and come apart in chunks. They literally fall apart. I guarantee I could toast them in under 300 miles. The OEM brakes on the bw aren’t even in the same universe. It’s laughable how much...

If u think Cadillac brakes are expensive don’t try any German cars. The cost at dealer to replace brakes on a RS6 is over 14k. Those are the steels too not even ccb. The more aggressive the pad the faster it’s going to wear. 40k is pretty good for a performance car. The rotors on the BW are very...

the rotors are a different size

that's the pricing on the 5. just wait until they come in stock again and buy a set to have around for when you need. same with tires. michelin makes a run of them every once in awhile and its better to have a spare set sitting there in case you need them and can't wait weeks or months for them...

lol wut. how exactly does it become longer wearing somehow just by there not being an aluminum hub

Rock auto when they have parts in stock are by far the cheapest for the oems. Front pads were $338 and rears $223. Rotors were $373 each for the fronts and $170 each for the backs last time I ordered from them. Summit racing is not as low, but usually competitive especially if you have a 10% off...

event before your accident at heartland there was a turtle slowly making his way across the track for 2 sessions right where you come over alpha

That is hilariously overpriced

Yea they use the new strand tech, but brembo reps told savage geese about their simulated testing and the cost per track day for just rotors would be very high based on their quoted life expectancy. I wouldn’t swap the CCB for steel as the programming for magride suspension is different to...

One and done just for the rotors, not pads, and if you’re ONLY street driving. Life expectancy of rotors when tracking are very similar to the steels, but significantly more expensive. Their main advantage when tracking is unsprung weight, but it comes with a massive cost. If you track often you...

GM charges a core for lots of stuff. Front splitters, wheels, you’d be surprised.

The owners manual actually says do it AFTER the first track day.

I have both a 5 BW & 2022 RS6. Wait for the BW. The rs6 isn’t worth paying 1/3 more. The air suspension is a bit more cushy & you clearly have more cargo space, but the BW is much better to drive. The rs6 is a luxury car that is fast & the BW is a fast car that is luxurious. Maintenance is flat...

New AMGs ride like a lumber wagon in comparison, at least the e class

Focus on getting on the gas (usually you’ll want to roll in and not mash it) as soon as possible in a corner and exiting with as much speed as you can rather than entering with as much speed as you can and braking as late as possible. You’ll be surprised how much time you pick up focusing on...

This. I ironically find the seats in my AMG to be the least comfortable lol.

I’m 6’4” and I think the upgraded seats in mine might be the best seats out of any vehicle I’ve ever owned.

I mean I go through a half tank in a 20 minute session, so 12 sessions or 3-4 days
