The stock CCs aren't great for track but I'm sure are nice on the street. Definitely a major win for wheel cleaning!

Thanks for posting the write-up, I had to go research all the acronyms from GT-R land. Echoed many of my sentiments from when I was shopping around!

No, I'm stating they don't hold up infinitely at the track and cost a fortune to replace, thus making steel brakes a much better proposition if you track often. These aren't the same carbon brakes you see on Formula cars, either, nor are our tires, and either set of brakes will out brake the grip available. Fade won't be a problem with the right rotors, cooling, and pad material. A good steel setup will do just as well and not cost a small fortune every time you're replacing rotors and pads.

I'm also not suggesting the stock steel brakes are a great track setup, either. The AP Racing setup posted recently is a better setup, especially with the right pads to swap in for track time.

I really like the carbon ceramics, i find they brake extreamely well. Much better than oem GTR brembos. But I do not track my car, so for day to day and spirited driving/weekend fun... they are awesome overkill. To me, well worth the upgrade.

So far no gripes about the car, my plans are rear wing delete, rear seat delete, 2nd cat pipe deletes, air filter and a solid tune

Just to follow up on this I tested a TTRS today with the fixed sport suspension and had no qualms about it. In fact, it rode better than my current MX-5. I still don't think I would order that package for my own car but neither would I discourage someone else from a car that had that option. It felt very planted and tight and is a good setup for that car.

Anyway, if you want my full thoughts I posted them in a new thread: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/tt-...ughts-2949750/

call me crazy but the RS suspension really feels like a touring suspension until pushed. I think I would have been personally unhappy with the magnetic ride tbh

So far this car has blown all my expectations out of the water.

anyone know how to remove the rears? I had this on all 3 of my previous GTR's and would love it here.

I was genuinely surprised at how good the fixed sport suspension felt on the road. If I could get it as a stand alone option I would seriously consider it. I have been in cars that were much stiffer and with much less compliance which leads me to believe that a lot of the complaints from journalists were overblown. To anyone who is on the fence I would strongly urge you to try it for yourself.
