We are still building this Subaru for the mile... Before it was engine problems that delayed is going to the event...then it was a scare with the wife...then this last one I went down for surgery...
However...this has been giving me time to consider more safety concerns and save up
Money....
The car is making around 750 whp and 720 wtq... Which is asinine...
I have a set of the stoptech trophy brakes up front, but just the stockers out back. It seems to me there is a lot of front bias in this set up...
We are in the process of building a flat bottom and a real rear diffuser, relocating some more weight to the rear and less at the front etc...and of course the design weight from the upcoming cage has mathematically transferred more theoretical weight towards the rear; all in the hopes of clearing 206 mph...
We will be running either continental slicks (GtO compound and build) or Achilles slicks depending...
Stoptech makes a brake kit for the rear using the st22 caliper. The pad area is quite small, if not near the same as stock, however it will add a little more mass in the rotor (I think it brings the diameter up)
Should I see if they can build a kit using the st41r caliper which is a rear caliper, using a larger pad surface area and see if they can run a large Disc for mechanical tq and extra heat ability...hoping to get a little more rear bias to slow this guy?
I really don't want to go to a chute if I don't have too.
I'd like to have some knowledge in my pocket for when I call stoptech...
Thanks for any help
