Will look into that, thanks!
Any recommendations beyond what is listed in the HPD manual?

Call Ken @ https://www.knsbrakes.com/c/home

Very knowledgeable and helpful. I bought Hawk DTC - 70 pads front and rear from Ken to go along with an extra set of track only stock rotors.
Will chekc them out. Thank you!

Cool! Do you go to Crunch Greshan BTW? I saw one there, probably auto.

Mine is manual and Mosaik Black, too.
I got mine in Dec.2017, but it had an owner before myself.

I think that getting a tires softer than the 200PR is going to be trick for the street, I would need a new set of wheels+tires to be used only on the track, I guess.

Thanks for the advice. +1 for the SFR fluid.

Do change the brake fluid though. I am running Castrol SRF and it has been great so far.
Thanks for the advice. +2 for the SFR fluid.

However, the brake fluid should be changed to DOT4.

So many options for brake fluis, so here is a link to Brake Fluid Data

Most folks here prefer Castrol SRF, and Motul 600 or 660.
Thanks for the advice. +3 for the SRF fluid.
I might stick with the OEM pads, then.

On the advice of one of the guys here stock tires and pads etc..and I only changed the brake fluid to Castrol SRF. Lets face it I personally will never outdrive the car lol
I will try something to cover that mic next time.
It would be nice to open that cam and install proper mic with a noise supressor.

I will make sure to subscribe to your YouTube channel, I am not lucky enough to track mine, but do have a lot of fun with her.


Welcome to the Family (if you haven't heard it before)!!!

I keep a piece of painter's tape in the center console to cover the mic whenever I go to the track. It definitely helps!

See posts 9 & 10 here for a pic of the mic location and a sample video:

I'm thinking of putting my stock tires back on, getting it track-aligned, and hitting PIR sometime soon too. Then I think I'll leave it track-aligned since it doesn't get much use. But I only have 2800 miles on my PS4S and only 200 miles on my OEM tires...too many decisions (I'm trying to avoid switching things around all of the time). Maybe it's time for a second set of wheels.
