After a second track day and having completely ruined my wagon rotors, I'm looking at getting something better AGAIN. I'm well aware of the time-old combo of prelude calipers/equivalent and 11.1" rotors, I'm running the wagon HOR setup for thicker rotors and Legend 2-pots. Brake feel is incredibly good, and stopping was a significant improvement over the Prelude calipers.
However, the heat buildup on the front rotors is huge. I've warped everything I put up there, so what do you guys use? Anyone running a bigger brake setup? I know of the RL caliper adapters floating around, but I've never seen anyone run it for anything other than looks. Has anyone dealt with the heat buildup in other ways? I've thought of ducting, but I'm not entirely sure how to run that, anyone have ideas?
Part two-brake bias and proportioning valves. Anyone have experience with this? I've heard some recommend the DA 40/40 valve, but I've never actually heard performance results from the swap. Anyone mess with something else? There's some adjustable prop valves from the likes of Wilwood and such, anyone used one of those?
Part three- I've read the long discussion on spring rates, but when it came down to it it has been nothing but speculation and nobody has results in for different spring rates. I'm currently on H&R Race springs and Bilsteins, but the understeer is really not good. I'm looking to pick up a Progressive RSB this summer, but I'm unsure if that will be enough to kill the understeer.
