some track video after installing RB stainless brake pistons.
Watkins Glen, my new personal best 2:06.8
NJMP Thunderbolt, my new personal best 1:27.2
^ thanks, i miss my s2k from time to time also. i wan to pick up another s2k for street car.
here's my AP1 before i got the Evo RS
They are apples and oranges. the s2k is like a go-kart on track, very precise and agile. it's light weight but low on power, so it's a momentum car. also, the AP1 is one of the hardest car to drive in stock form because of snap oversteer, but with some modifications like larger front bar and rear wing will cure that. everything about the s2k is design for track except for brakes. it's reliable and consumables are very low compare to the Evo. The Evo is a brute car but relatively easy to drive. it's heavy and you have muscle it around. but awd and easy to make power makes it fun, although it goes through consumable two to three times as much as the s2k depending on your power level.

here's video and picture at Watkins Glen with NARRA
a lap at NJMP Thunderbolt with NASA in October
i torqued bolt on the calipers to about 40 ft/lbs and used blue loctite. there's no creaking from the calipers.
pedal fell is the same, but i only did two time trials event after installing the stainless pistons. i usually only do 3-5 hot laps per sessions when i do TT, so i don't get brake fade when i TT, also ambient temp was in the 60's. i'll have to wait till next season when i do some HPDE events where i run full sessions to see if the pedal gets soft towards the end of the day like it used to with the aluminum pistons.
