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.

It's sounds like you're talking about general wear which is very different than ABS abuse which usually create warbles from uneven deposits etc. probably doesn't matter for ceramic.

Yeah of course ABS exists. The point is it will kick in (which is not good for general pad/rotor wear but maybe doesn't matter for ceramic) much earlier than it would otherwise before the brake bias was messed with. If you never plan on hard braking during spirited driving or track, no worries...

"should improve braking" It depends on what you mean by "improve". You want front and rear to lock up at the same time to maximize braking distance. If front locks up first, you will understeer and not slow down as fast. If back locks up first, you will oversteer and not slow down as fast...

If anyone knows the brake bias stock, we could compute the change in distribution based on the updated geometries. In the GR86/BRZ community, people have worked out spreadsheets for all of the aftermarket brake setup options. In this case, I think the community is a bit smaller so maybe that...

Yeah, if you are using the same caliper piston and it's just acting on a bigger radius, this will lead to significant understeer under braking

Do these rotors move the brake bias at all?

When I purchased, I was deluded about prices for desirable specs. I brought a bunch of comps that were lower and showed them and they were like "how many were superman or McDonald's specs"...and I had to admit all of them.

Oh hey that's me! Thanks for introducing yourself.

I have a Uniden R7 and love it. The Emira I bought has a USB plug integrated with the rear view mirror mount. I bought a USB power adapter and didn't have to run any cables. It was awesome.

Could you explain how you tricked the notch to open? I just leave the cable passing through and closing the trunk on it doesn't seem to be marking the trunk itself at all

How strong are the sealants if you ever plan to go back and restore the stock cat? Does that make it significantly harder?

I mushed one down as a test fit, but now I'm deciding to expand the other end of the test pipe a little bit. Now I need to debate whether to go back and replace the gasket again.

I just got through most of the install of my GRP pipe last night too. It was a little bit loose, and I figured I would just try and continue and bolt things up. After everything was bolted up tight, and the clamp was cinched as tight as it can go, the pipe was still quite loose. I decided to...

Yup. Wasn't those two, but had missed the outermost bolts. Thanks...I had stupidly been banging my head for hours.

I was doing this install and got to the point where I am trying to remove the rear diffusor (all bolts removed). I can't manage to get it loose. Anyone else have similar struggles and resolve them?

I am getting my new (to me, 1400 miles) Emira in the air to do the 3rd cat delete and valve controller modifications. While lifting, I noticed that the side skirt on one side is missing all fasteners. Anyone know where I can identify and subsequently order said fasteners?

Presumably, it would be much easier to Jack the middle of the rail and be able to place both jack stands per side. This would allow you to do things behind the wheels in an unobstructed way. @djprov431 - I presume you do not do it that way because you are trying to follow the manual's...

Just to make sure - is this the sunken groove you are talking about? I made a similar cut on the jacking pads you linked. So I can jack here (in the center of the side of the car)?

I'd also like to get on the list. Pixel 8 pro.

I bought my car a few days ago, and was just noticing the sound today as well.

How did you get the car onto Jack stands? Sorry my ownership is only a few days old so far and I haven't seen a broadly accepted method for getting on jackstands yet considering the small lift pads.
