Installed the new buttons today. Some steps that helped me:
Disconnect battery
The spring clips for the airbag - they push inwards towards the steering wheel center axis (not fore or aft relative to car body). I used a thicker punch tool to lightly push inwards. You can feel it acting like a...
Just fyi, I have the same things happen but I was just able to handle it with my expander.
But definitely even though you would think that the slit stock pipe would clamp firmly, the hose clamp that is welded to it runs out of range, and so it stays loose. Better that you got it sorted.
I had this issue as well. Recently went to dealer and had them perform the various SW updates.
It didn't happen in 1.5 hrs of use since (and used to happen a lot), but we'll have to wait to see for sure.
2007 C6 Corvette
2019 GT350
2023 GR86
Only had significant track time on the GT350 and GR86.
I agree that Lotus know what they are doing! Just remember that they are trying to find a one size fits all solution trying to fit the lowest common denominator of their users. I don't have a huge ego...
I'm on eagles but will go cup 2 on replacement most likely.
I've liked 0 toe up front ranging to slightly negative toe on all my fun mountain/track cars.
I also agree that the options for pricing and everything look reasonable.
But again the big issue is that if you receive something and it is not as advertised in the pictures, clearly and obviously, then you should get a no questions asked refund.
I don't think they need to debate anything. I would just be curious to know how much 5mm increase in radius shifts the brake bias. I'd love to see the number. It probably is mostly insignificant.
I thought I would add some notes after doing this recently.
1) The yellow plug slides out of its clip in the floor, you don't necessarily need to pull out the black clip (which I nearly found impossible, the aluminum tab that supports it was bending before it would pop out)
2) I could not fit...
Also, I am not trying to convince you this is a bad mod. On the contrary, it seems awesome for you and I hate brake dust.
But prospective buyers should know that this probably significantly moves the brake bias which will mess with limit braking for people that care about driving hard.
