If you do only occasional tracking and don’t run race tires then the DS2500 are the right pad for you. I cannot speak to the brake dust compared to stock CT4 pads as I have a CT5 with the carbon ceramic rotors. But on my GT350 the brake dust seemed similar to other pads.
As long as the hole is not close to the sidewalk then any tire shop can fix it. Recommend patch and plug for best results. Note you are not supposed to track on a patched tire.
I am a huge Ferodo fan. Not just of the DS2500 but also the DS1.11 and the DSUNO. Those are the 2 other compounds I have tried on the GT350. If you want to go a bit more aggressive on the compound, the DS1.11 are great. Better wear on the track and way less brake dust. No free lunches though...
I think you might be right in the 22-24 CT5 having better tech if you plan on keeping the car long term. I wanted the Precision Package and the upgraded PDR so I am okay with that trade off and having a 2025+.
Yep she used a Cricut. Happy to share the vector file she created. DM with your email as I am not allowed to attach an SVG file directly here.
Note the weeding of the vinyl is very tedious as the numbers are very small and the 4, 6 and R have little center bits to remove. The bigger you can...
big thumbs up for the Ferodo DS2500. The GT350 has those as stock pads. Fantastic dual use pads good street manners and holds up very well on track even on a heavy car. Brake dust is same as other similar pads.
There is an “offline mode” but it has to do with the GPS being “offline” as I discovered recently. For the 2025+ models the GPS is tied to OnStar subscription. I found out when my Google Maps could not find me and the icon in the gauge cluster that shows the road’s speed limit just showed —. So...
I asked my wife to make a couple of stickers for me. I wanted a “save the manuals” type sticker. But I wanted something more BW specific. So I asked her to make a sticker based on the medallion on the shifter. Fits nicely on the plastic panel on the C-pillar.
Black V emblem on the side goes well with the black wheels.
I have to ask what you did with the front spoiler and the rear diffuser. Is the rear painted or wrapped? I am guessing painted as it is a very good color match. I have never seen that small a front spoiler before. Where did you get it?
Drift does not have much metallic. The metallic it does have is blue. So it looks more blue in the sun than in the shade. I was torn between Drift and Deep Space. But my last 2 cars were dark gray so I wanted different. I had not seen Drift in person when I ordered so it was a bit of a gamble...
Obviously a lot of the trim pieces are carbon fiber wrapped along with the roof. It looks well done. I think the calipers are also wrapped or painted as the V logo would be black on factory red calipers.
I also have a Drift CT5. Please post pics with the black emblems. I was thinking the chrome looked fine but I am wondering if the black would look even better on a Drift car.
Probably. But I only have the one for a 5BW. I did not notice you had a 4BW. Hopefully access to the mounting point at the corners is better in the 4BW. It is impossible to access in the 5BW. You have to use special clips instead.
