I Just ran my car for the first time at Gingerman raceway. WOW! Love the way I have the car configured so far. Word of wisdom, don't use EBC Red Stuff for track use!! I made a huge mistake and they started glazing (melting) causing my car to shake. Car handled very well and after months of building, adjusting, tweaking...I think the car performed very well. The whiteline swaybar I added paired with my coilovers worked very well. I do need to stiffen my front coilovers a bit as I was rubbing in hard cornering. I think I will get an OS Giken diff next season (over winter) along with some racing bucket seats and a roll cage.
As for my pad issue, I spoke to a few people, I'll be making the switch over to G-LOC pads.
ALSO! I learned that my buddy went through TWO sets of z1 2-piece rotors in a matter of a year due to hairline cracking. Keep this in mind when purchasing new rotors, I'd steer clear of z1 2piece!

Once the stock VLSD gets hot. It's done for until it cools down. Repeated high temps will cook the silicone fluid inside of it. Mine would go open after about 10 minutes of track use.
If you get the OS Giken diff. only use the OS Giken gear lube for it unless you like noise and strange behavior.
