also, should I replace front and rear, or just front?

any pads you recommend?

Replace both front and rear. I started out with EBC Yellowstuff pads. As I got faster. I switched to the Carbotech pads.

That could be a bit much. I'm using the 10F/8R combo.

Be prepared for the squeak when cold.

I agree with Rusty I ran xp10 front and 8 in the back. They were plenty and they squeal like mad when they are cold. You may experience either a hard bite or no bite at all when they a cold. They also dust really bad if that is a thing for you!

All I am saying is that until the brakes are up to temperature they are unpredictable as I have experienced them to not bite, ice mode or grab and stop on a dime. Just providing food for thought.

I most definitely appreciate you, i just didnt understand the hard bite. Gotta be super mindful, thank you for that

i already have to take it easy for the first 10 min anyways cause of the nankang ar-1 i currently have

bpchaos · 12-08-2020, 02:41 PM

I run XP10/XP8. It always surprises me when I think they're too cold to work and you end up slamming the passenger into the dash. Also the squeal. I don't know how some of you deal with it but man is it high pitched lol.

Anyone measure bump & droop when installing coilovers? Roll Center?

Here are some pics of my bump(full compression, no springs) and droop (full decompression).

Rear full droop:

Rear full bump:

Rear Ride height:

Front full droop:

Front full bump:

Front Ride height:

Measurements: (from the top of the center cap to the center-most part of the fender)
Rear:

Fully Compressed (no spring): 317.5 mm

Full droop: 444.5 mm

Ride height (car on ground with spring): 352.425mm

Front:

Fully Compressed (no spring): 311.15 mm

Full Droop: 444.5 mm

Ride Height: 342.9mm

I may raise the front a bit, looks like I'll need a swift spring to properly preload the fronts, If I go any higher, the springs become loose. Only way to tell is to do a corner balance which will hopefully happen after I get my half-cage done.

When you did this. Did you watch to see how much the camber changes during full movement?
