^^^^ LOLS!!!
Are you running stock calipers/diameters on your rotors? I'm about to need some brake work and debating what to do on rotors - either shell out ~$900 for 2-piece, or go cheap/stock and wait for someone selling their 2-piece or BBK setup cheap via classifieds here.
Also, your thoughts on the R888's vs. more street-oriented rubber? I'll eventually upgrade to coil-overs but wondering if I'd see much improvement from track rubber on a stock-ish '11 suspension.
Edit - One more thing: I had my AOS - newer version w/purported 3x capacity - fill up after only one day (six 25min sessions) at CoTA, although it was over 95 and on new oil. When I went to drain it, I simply opened the valve on the bottom, but only about 1.5 maybe 2 ounces came out. The level on the indicator didn't appear to change. Should I be doing something different to empty it? Otherwise, I'm impressed to be down less than half a quart on the dipstick after two hot track days and 5k miles in the TX heat taking her to redline daily!
