I'm going to take your word on the 06/01 combo for my next pad purchase.

You'll love the combo. Where do you get PFC's from on this coast? I went back to pagid because I had such a hard time getting PFCs

I have been running 01s f&r. When I bought the car that is what was installed. I have been learning with this set up and it seems fairly balanced. I don't think I need more rear brake bias yet.

Is there a discernable increase in rear brake bias with the 06/01 f/r combo?

TIA

David,
I stand by my math at $500 a day. I laid out the costs and they are realistic.
I ran 12 days on my current set of Nitto's. They are not corded. Due to cold temps I honestly could not tell you if they were sticky anymore, it was time to hang it up. They gave me 12 fun days in the instructor run groups at four different clubs.
The Hoosier and slick crowd on here has long forgotten what a $500 day is like. Hoosiers cost $300 a day themselves, maybe a tad less.
I did not count depreciation, rooms and meals or track cost, if you are not an instructor. Mods are extra too, obviously as is insurance.
It's not cheap but it sure is fun.

Soon i will do the homework and find out who has them for the best price and let you know.

Yes, the brake bias will move to the rear. Not much to cause instability

Thanks Dude

Just out of curiosity with abit more rear bias would it have ne affect on the stock LSD like more increased wear? Mike

I run Cobalt XR2's on the 6GT2/GT3 and have been very pleased. Good life, easy on rotors and less $$$ than Pagid and PFC.

no idea, I haven't had the stock LSD in forever. I wouldn't think so

Please stop posting cost info. My wife has the Internet.

($2300 in alignments in 3 years? Also grab some ATE rotors to save big bucks)

Tedster

I would also add annual alignments. More frequent without the upgraded rear toe links.
Regarding Tires, One set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cups will last a season with a good alignment and a working differential.

gvtesse

I've had 5 alignments in the last 3 years. However, that number is probably a bit high. Looking back at some of those receipts I think I added in some other labor costs in that total because I didn't have an itemized breakdown for some other work done at the same time.
