Another update on Red Baron! The new Continental ECF in 315/30/19 showed up and were installed yesterday. New/used 14" Giro Disc rotors installed up front and paint stripped from the calipers. Here's some beauty shots Brent shared last night that I had to put up. The wider tires are noticable in the look of the car. It was too cold to push the car to get a feel so that will have to wait.
Also installed were some adjustable front sway bar end links by Shelby. The 400lbs rear springs were also installed, replacing the 300lbs springs. With the big rear wing and wider tires, this change should suit the car nicely on track.
To fit the wider tires, Brent went with a 20mm spacer, up from 19mm. The camber plates were maxed out at about -3 degrees, which necessitated grinding the opening on the strut tower to allow the top of the strut to move inward a little more. The alignment was straightened out and a test drive confirmed all was ready to rock. The bigger 13.5" GT500 sized rear rotors using the stock calipers with a bracket to make it all work will be installed today since the rotors were arriving today instead of yesterday.
Enjoy the pics! Brent is hoping that these latest changes can get the car down to a low 1:57 lap time at CW13 in a couple weeks.
