I don't know anything about track regulations but you could use something similar to this on the bumper to route a new inlet instead of stealing from the oil cooler. This would be the most "direct" route and more efficient.

Just a thought, they never hurt. :)

Tough to do on the drivers side as the ACD pump takes up the space in front of the driver side wheel well.

^ that and the area over hood has negative pressure

Not a lot. but anough to hose my heel toe most of the time. Pumping the pedal doesn't help, been there tried that.

Looking at that pad, after that wear pattern sets in, then when the pads start to press on the rotor, the only thing touching on the outside pad is that lower edge. I suspect I am having to press hard enough to flex the caliper and bring the whole pad face into the rotor.

Driving it around after re-installing the RB ET700's and street wheels/tires, the pedal is rock hard and has almost no movement. Of course those pads are wearing nice and flat (even on both sides).


If you are pushing that hard on the pedal I'd say you need more friction. More tire will just make it worse and modulating the brakes is certainly not easy at that level of force.

Get XP16's or DTC70/PFC01 or more.

I would carefully measure the calipers as well. They may have opened up some.

PS

Same shoe size here.....a ***** getting good shoes anywhere huh...

And we do get a bit of taper from the AP caliper as well on the STi version of that kit - but the pedal never changes. I'll have to see if it' stop to bottom or end to end. We are just getting finished w/ testing it.
