so current list of mods consists of
Stg3 nordic
forge bov
GS V2 downpipe
GS slotted front and rear brembo rotors
rear anti-roll bar
lowered
tdo4hl-15t
ebay IC
aftermarket oil cooler
custom twin filter intake
and soon to be installed viggen clutch kit from GS
Upgrade rear rotors to 300mm vented rotors from 9-5 Aero
Upgrade rear calipers to 9-5 Aero calipers.
Brake lines, including the ones to fit the new calipers
Upgrading the fronts too much (larger rotors and calipers) will make the fronts stop much better than the rears. The front of the car will brake faster than the rear, so when the nose dives down during hard braking, the suddenly lighter rear end will want to kick out to one side.
That kind of oversteer is actually a good thing on the track, but it needs to be manageable and not harsh and sudden.
Upgrading the rears first, and then putting good pads on the fronts is a really nice setup for street or track....and it's way, way cheaper.
I found a set of 9-5 Aero calipers for $118 shipped, from Strandberg Auto. The rotors you can get from eeuroparts, and the new rear lines from GS....
Saabtoberfest's departure this year has robbed me of hearing the BOVs popping along Pennsylvania's backroads. Sigh. (weep)
