they're a completely different type of CCB rotors. watch the savagegeese video. they go into a lot of detail on the brakes. the new material in the BW is more expensive vs the c7

There was likely nothing wrong with the rotors that were on the car. I’ve abused my 5 about as much as one can at the track and can easily go 3 sets of pads before the rotors are to their minimum thickness allowed

Unfortunately that incident didn’t isolate itself from me lol

I see you haven’t seen the engine replacement thread that I and others have posted in

YPL9ZN I can also do without the CF Kansas Would you permit a 3rd party leasing company? I did this with my RS6 and they just pay the dealer the full purchase price direct as if it was a cash transaction. The only difference is that the car would get titled in the leasing company name rather...

933.5 gallons at 10k miles. (About 10.7 mpg) I’m getting low to mid 20s commuting (mostly highway) & 2-3 mpg at the track. I’ve obviously put a lot of track time on her lol.

Kind of. You can publish the horsepower over a range versus the peak. The bmw b58 is way underrated in actual power bc of this.

I drive my car in track alignment all the time. Track use wears the outsides more and the track alignment the insides. It balances out then that way. I still wear out my outsides before the insides even with all driving being in track alignment.

At least with the base c8 spring mountain purchases those for use then sells them. Not sure about the z06. With the blackwings GM loans them the cars and some of them were actually preproduction cars missing certain things like the track maps on the shifter paddle covers found in the manual cars.

Spring mountain has like 20 blackwings & 600 corvettes

Buy the sensors at rockauto. Way way cheaper. It can sometimes take driving for over a half hour for the computer to automatically start detecting the new sensors

I started a lengthy thread about this. Euro is wrong & not approved. Most dealers are idiots.

I drive my 5 all the time in track alignment. The added wear to the insides on the street help balances the added wear to the outsides on track. I drove my car & my dads back to back on track & the alignment def makes a noticeable difference in handling. I’ve not felt any difference in ride.

Big mistake not driving it the way the engineers & god intended. Get a garmin catalyst & get that thing on track to embarrass the mustang & Porsche guys asap

He’s stated many times why. You can use the search button if you really want to know. “Everybody” is a pretty broad term and LT motor components are a lot cheaper vs what was used, but there were several reasons it was not. I also don’t get the pricing miscue comment. Even with a rebate the...

There’s really no need to trailer these cars. You can just drive them there air down the tires and go. Then just sit them back up for the trip home. This is essentially what they’re designed to do. Drive all week with the car seat in the back then drive it to the track & blow the doors off...

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...
