Stage 3 and Stasis 4:1 Track Report
#13
Are you perfectly happy with your brakes (front and rear)
I was thinking of going with this setup when I upgrade. I'd actually be doing the S8 rears first (my stockers are toast) and then later going to StopTechs. Any comments on the setup for street/track use?

And then what?
Here is how I feel it:
Mid corner get on gas, power goes to the rear and the car starts oversteering. Stay on the gas and slowly release steering, power moves to the front and the car stops oversteering (I assume this is in response to loss of rear grip). It feels like you catch the oversteer and countersteer but in many cases that is not needed, Quattro and 4:1 catch the car and pull it out. Freaky, I agree.
I do not know if it makes it faster, but makes it entertaining to watch and drive.
I do not have ESP nor the rear LSD. Just the 4:1.

Car never oversteered, it just powered out of the turn like a rwd car
I have my rear swaybar set on full soft, with a harder bar setting, it'd definately oversteer.
Right now it's perfectly neutral...

Yes, I'm very pleased with the brake setup.
I didn't want to go bigger in the front as I have 17" wheels. I wanted the S8's in the back in case I needed to replace rotors. This way any dealer should have them.
It's a nice balanced setup and it works great on the street and track, just pop in some track pads on the stoptechs and you're ready to rock.

Probably not, as you'd have to be pushing the car pretty hard to feel
the effect of it, much harder than you should on a public street. In driving around town, I can't tell its there on my car.
