I’ll be using the beatsonic switch which is already mounted in the factory switch panel.





oh wow ok... very nice and clean... how do you like the bigger screen am thinking about getting one ... any cons ?

the only con is I wasn’t able to make the beatsonic front camera interface to work, I really like the larger screen and being able to run the JBV1 app which is only available for android.

Can you share the offsets of your wheels?

Got the rear CCM kit installed. I re-painted the calipers and drilled and tapped the adapters for helicoil thread inserts. Got some decals made by a friend. Decals are under the clear coat and they are on upside down so they are the same direction with the fronts looking on either side of the car. Also installed some Tom's Racing brake lines.

Looking good..!!

How did you make the tough decision for the decal directions on the calipers?

I know there is a few different ways / approaches...

^^^
joe,
I thought the same thing 😉

His train of thought was that the logo would all read the same direction and match the front caliper when you’re looking at the car.
I can see his decision based on that logic.

Car is nuts over the top nice, no matter which way the logo faces 🔥

Yup! I didn't really see it as being upside down or backwards, all I thought was same direction as the fronts! haha! Thanks!

^^ Agreed.. It's a tough decision.. When the calipers are split between 9 & 3 o'clock.

Most OE and Brake companies follow the Top of the bridge.
(insert LFA)

Looks great either way..

What CCM rotors did you put up front with the OEM calipers ?
(edit found your June post)

I would consider CCM rotors if I can keep the OEM Brembo caliper setup...

As a machinist, I hate HeliCoils. They really suck IMHO. Timeserts are head and shoulders better and they never back out like HeliCoils.
