Notice any difference in power with SSM axle-back section? Any drone around 2k rpm? (I have a low drone tolerance.)
Did you install axle-back section DIY on QuickJack? How difficult do you think DIY would be on jack stands?
I haven't driven it much with the SSM axle back, hard to say if there was a noticeable increase. Yes, I had it on quickjacks and it was really easy to to do the job. Having it on jack stands, as long as it's high enough, shouldn't be too hard, I imagine. Hardest part really is getting the new mufflers onto the rearmost rubber hangers, had to pull them closer together. HTH!
RCF calipers. No spacers on this version. I don’t like how that method pushes the calipers out by almost a half inch, designed to work with the RCF rotors. I will be using ISF 380mm rotors with this and will only require a thin hub shim to center it in the caliper. Painted the hub/bearing assemblies with some POR15 while they’re out.
Have you driven the car since you installed the under chassis brace? I had one installed and the stock cats would make contact and bang around so I took it off. Curious if you had any similar issues and if there are any solutions.

I have not. I'm still waiting for my headers and midpipe.

Awesome.. Any more spec details ??
I thought a bracket was required to bolt them up... How can the RC F calipers still work on the IS F rotors ??

RC F front rotors = 14.96 / 380 mm
IS F front rotors = 14.2 / 360 mm

Oh I will be using the 380mm IS-F specific rotors from FIGS/RB. The caliper spacers/brackets are needed if you are using the RCF 380mm rotors (factory or aftermarket) because of the disc offset. Otherwise, calipers themselves bolt on to the hub carrier without adapters.
More progress! Installed a new starter and added another layer of insulation. Also applied some heat shield in some areas that are close to the headers.
What heat shield material is in upper photo?
The tape in lower photograph looks like Design Engineering 010416 or similar?
Curious. Thanks.
I was considering all of the same bracing. I bought the Fsport brace, and was looking at the rear and tunnel braces from Figs. Seem like areas that would all add plenty of rigidity without picking up a bunch of weight. What do you think about a front subframe brace? I don’t see them discussed or used much on here.
