    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    I thought G-LOC and Carbotech uses the same compound? R10 = XP10 and etc. Currently I am running XP8 in the rear of my car for both daily and track and while their bite on high speed track is lacking, they don't overheat easily and only has low growl noise when it's cold on the street. As for...

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    MPP compression rod bearing is like one of the best kept secret. If you drive the car on track or at the edge of traction, you'll appreciate what it does. It adds no NVH for me on street tires but when on track with 305 Supercar 3R tires, you can feel the night and day difference. The best way...

    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    I pretty much did all the upgrade incrementally and this is the order I would suggest. All MPP part unless otherwise stated. 1. Track oriented Brake pads, fluids. OEM pads are OK for driving but not for track or hard driving unless you don't use a lot of brake. If budget allows, 2 piece rotors...

    MPP Comfort Coilovers - Do I need additional parts?

    I would drop at about 1 inch first and see how you like it. At 1 inch drop you don't really need camber arms.

    MPP Coilovers

    You can always ask your local group for a test ride. Personally I vote for the MPP Sport as the softest setting it's very compliant and stiffest setting is track worthy. Everyone that I've given a ride at the soft setting loved it and bought one. Even my wife who's not a car person commented...

    Master Thread: Model 3s on the Track / drag strip- Videos, Discussion, Setup, Etc

    Reposting from instagram. It's been a roller coaster ride participating in @turn8racing 2021 Time Attack Battle. After 4 class wins and 3 podium finishes, I am happy to say that I finished P1 in Track Class as well as Highest Point Accumulation across all 3 classes! I want to take this...

    UP vs MPP Coilover

    40k+ road miles and 30+ track day on MPP sport and so far still performing really well without any noise from the shocks. So far I have bent 4 wheels (1 forged racing wheel) from going off track yet these damper still holding up really well.

    it should work, 265/35/19 is always pretty safe.

    I guess depends on the autox course. I was just referring to my experience on various tracks that has sufficient straights to cool off the brakes.

    No need for hub centric wheels as long as you torque down the wheel in star pattern. I've done it with Konig, WedsSport, Volks, generic flow forms.

    Unless you have MPP.R BBK. I've used the plastic rings many times without issues.

    depends on if you have a specific class you want to run. If just HPDE without restriction, 18x9.5 +35 will fit without modification. If are lowered, has additional negative camber (-2.7 or lower in front and -2.5 in rear), you should be able to run 18x10.5 +25.

    Performance rotor hat is around 4mm thinner than non performance. AP hat is about same thickness as non performance and MPP 2 piece rotor hat is about 0.5mm to 1mm thicker than AP hat.
