Hey everyone, I just got back from my track event at Thunderhill. It was my first time tracking my car with my newly installed BC Coilovers, porsche 993 brake air deflectors, Dunlop StarSpecs, and a TB Torsion bar. The car preformed BEAUTIFULLY. I was able to carry a lot more entry speed into the corners with this setup and really outbrake almost everyone in my group. After doing a closer inspection of my car once I got home, I noticed that I finally got a full thickness crack through one of my GT Rotors from Wilwood. I just thought I'd share. I got approx ~500 track miles and ~10k commuter miles on them with ~1k or so of those commuter miles, riding the brakes hard. I'll be posting GoPro footage of my last event once I get the videos cut and edited.



Photo of the Porsche Air Deflectors I installed. I just drilled holes into thie LCA and used some 1/4"x 20 bolts to bold them on. I removed the heat shielding after taking this photo
