I have looked into it but don't have enough justification for it yet. I'm pretty happy with the ebrake performance so far. I will do more testing and see how it handles the season. 1st event is on April 5th.

These are nice, but I'm waiting to see how Voodoo13 kit will be pieced together because they are also working on outer tie rods from what I hear. If we are keeping the stock knuckle we need more caster...i'm at 5.4 caster and would like to be over 10. I know SPL make some caster adjustable arms but have not seen any info about max caster gain from them.

Thanks!

The reason for the Yaw sensor kill was because if you are mid drift and use the brakes to slow down the gas pedal was not responding for me. Now it does every time. I should mention using brakes mid drift to slow down is a good idea but the ABS wants to straighten the car out and it is another reason to remove abs and go with proportioning valve setup. While we are on the topic of the gas pedal, I should also mention the gas input or throttle position map is strange on this car compared to others...feels delayed for the 1st half of the range. A Local tuner said he can reprogram that. Need to look into that someday.

It's not the ABS that wants to straighten out the car mid turn. It's the Stability Control causing the issue by appling a rear brake. I got yelled at by a driving instructor for appling the brakes mid turn. Reveiwed the GoPro later show that I did not applied the brakes. The instructor had to eat his words. But yes, the Yaw sensor is the issue.

Yes true about your condition. But try sliding the car w/ Yaw sensor off and tapping brakes w/ clutch not engaged ... it won't stay sideways its straightening out where normally it wouldn't on a non abs car. Another ABS issue i'm having is if you make a mistake and spin going rear in you can't be hard on the brakes...abs goes mental and brakes actually don't slow you down for a period of time where with non abs you can modulate below 40mph or intentionally lock them. Perhaps its just my ABS system not working to standard? not sure...

Think you got a combintion of things going on at one time. The ABS, Stability Control, and the throttle-brake nanny program.
