And one more thing I noticed, much to my dismay. One reason I desired a Gen6, after driving many versions of them, was the steering feel. My '22 BCD SS 1LE does not feel as if the steering is as engaging to what I have experienced in the past. The BCDs are alot more heavier than the typical 370mm SS 1LE front brakes. I wonder if this additional unsprung/rotating mass has dampened the steering feel. Don't get me wrong it still feels good but there is something missing, even with slight steering inputs. It's more of a feedback feeling that it is missing.

And I did a recent A/B comparison, my buddy came in last week from WV so we could align his '18 SS 1LE. All he has is ST43 pads and Michelin 4S tires. Also, mine is an A10 where his is the M6. More weight disadvantage on mine. Now, a few years ago I drove his car with the OE F1s and then with the 4S' and I felt the 4S' did not have as good of a turn in as the F1s. And they felt softer. That being said, now, his '18 steering felt more alive compared to mine.

Both of our cars were aligned to about -1.2 all around and the total toe was very similar.
