Great video. You have the best DIY for P car owners. Loved the Miata stuff as well.
Thanks!
As ever Danial, excellent, informative and so professionally done 👌
Much appreciated!
Those rotors look rock solid! Sorry we missed you out at Buttonwillow. Hope to see you out on track at another event this year!
Next time!
Love your videos. They are great and detailed. Keep it up
Thanks!
As always, a really well presented and very helpful video. And I am awe-struck at how clean and corrosion-free your underside components are! Does it never rain there? I am jealous....
lol. The car has never been driven in heavy rain. Just a little bit of misted roads and a few big puddles
Solid content - you got a link for those wheel guides you use - they are the ticket! AND - where's the Tarrett stud video located?
Target video will be next week.
The guides, I think I got one from RSS with my spacers and the other maybe from Suncoast?
I noticed moving from OEM to PFC rotors that the PFC ones had much, much less bite than the OEM ones do. I am curious to hear whether you notice a difference in bite with these ones (assuming you use the same pads). The PFC ones need a lot more pedal effort which took some learning, but actually makes it easier to modulate the brake force.
I have a track day coming up we will see!
Why you chose slotted abd bot cross drilled rotor? Isnt cross drilled better for track?
No, cross drilled rotors are more prone to cracking from the edges of the holes. They do their job of venting gases and such but slots do better with less cracking.
How many track days do your pads , tires and rotors last?
My OEM pads lasted 29 sessions (20 min each). The rotors lasted 39 but could have gone at least another 5. I’ve been through 2.5 sets of tires in that time. Along with the track time also plenty of Autocross and backroads driving. Car has 12k miles.
Sorry you asked track days. Tires about 4-5. Pads had meat but weren’t as effective anymore after 7 days. Rotors did 9 days and maybe could have another day or two.
good info thanks, and the videos are really high quality!@@JetFuelOnly
Where are your rotors made?
I don’t know the answer to that, you will have to ask Paragon. I’m assuming not in US since people leverage that as a selling point and it’s not mentioned.
Thank you, Yes I am figuring China at their price points .
Not sure but it looks like you may have installed your rotors backwards.
Thanks for looking but they are as Paragon intended. It’s based on the vane direction which happens to match the slots but some manufacturer’s slots may be cut different compared to the vanes.
@@JetFuelOnly good to know my Girodisc runs the opposite direction.
Slot direction is irrelevant, the only thing that matters is the direction of the cooling vanes
