Great job getting that perfect 50% cross weight. Total weight is with me in the car.

After getting my car corner balanced at The Driveway in San Jose, I immediately signed up for a track day to see if there are any improvements in the handling. After missing first session due to an incredibly long time at the gate, I use the 2nd session to warm up myself mentally and immediately...

@Clivew how good do you think the Model 3's ABS is on track? Is threshold braking better or smashing the brake and let ABS sort it out?

to answer OP's original question, The performance red caliper has bigger pad sweep area, larger rotor radius (more torque), and beefier and stiffer caliper. I've driven both and the performance brake feels more like a European performance car as long as you don't overheat it.

Brand new set of 4 Konig DEKAGRAM matte black. 19X9.5 +35 5x114.3 that fits Model 3, wheels are only 19.86 lbs each! One wheel was opened to test fit. Rest still brand new in box. Local pickup only. $1060

I have Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus 2 and it's very comfortable and quite. I went with slightly oversized 245/40/19 to prevent curb rashes.

I am also running MPP Sport coilovers and agree with everything @dfwatt said. I am running the damper at 12c10r all around and on 19 inch touring tires the car feels like a luxury eruopean sports car that's perfect for daily. You can still feel the stiffness and support but all the bumps and...

there is no need to replace any other suspension components if all you're looking is to drop the ride height a little. The increase in camber will be very negligible. All you need is an alignment afterwards to adjust your toe.

Is the offset printed on the wheel? Hard to imagine ET25 + 10mm spacers in the front would fit under stock fender.

You're correct. You get more clearance with 19. 18x10 you do need +30.

Performance rotors

I have personally used 19x10 +35 at the front without issue.

what is the rear wheel offset?

Severe heat soak at lap 5 at VIR is pretty impressive.

Awesome videos. That was fun chasing those gt4. Did you have any other cooling upgrades besides the rear drive unit?

I've heard DS2500 is a good daily and light track pad. You can see this for info Ferodo Racing Official Website - Racing Brake Pads

Hello, I am looking for a used Model 3 from Tesla. Does anyone have a good sales advisor on the west coast that can help me find the deal I want? TIA

How can a 2018 car have warranty until Oct. 2024 or 60,000?

Could you please let me know where did you see this?

Hello, I am interested. But I am in norcal, any chance my friend can pick it up from you?

Hello, could you please let me know the product page? I am interested. thanks

still available?

Yeah, I think even with AKB springs, you'll have issues with the rattling. You should ask AP if there is local distributor that has similar solution. If not, I am sure one of us can help you get them from Essex.

You're right, it's from Essex. Anyways, it helps to remove the pad rattling, two of my friends have them and they say they don't hear pad rattle noises.

do you have the spring clip?

Even thought the calipers are larger and more piston, the piston area are generally kept the same as OEM in order to not change brake bias. I am not sure about using brake pressure to model brake temp but what you say is also a possibility. Track mode V2 does record brake pressure it seems...

just speculation, I've had done exact same setup except for more aggressive pads and the brake temp warning came up much later.

Depends on the compound of your pads. If they are more aggressive than stock, they you shouldn't get any brake temp warning as you will be using the brake for a shorter duration. Right now I rarely hear the brake temp overheat warning.

Good to hear that the larger radiator helped. Did you have to take off the entire front end to install it?

the shield for performance is larger if I remember correctly

it's even worse when you have a ton of negative camber.

Break them in a bit and see if the bite is better. AWD has small front rotor so the brake torque isn't as high plus oem pads don't have the best initial bite. However, if you press the brake pedal hard enough, you should be able to lock the tires and trigger ABS.

I've only had whirring noise during hard braking on track but I thought that was expected for slotted rotors?

You have more knowledge about diffs than I ever will have of any subject in life.

Bay Area shops in general are more expensive compare to SoCal.

This is really good info. At what battery temp does the loop go from series back to parallel?

wow, please do share your result. I am tired of paying full price for track day and only running half a session. I am assuming you lost the use of frunk?

Any other modifications besides creating a better seal?

right now it's at 0. Will add some toe in next time I am out.

some sessions at Laguna Seca with SpeedSF on 08/23. https://youtu.be/ihPB_as4kh8 https://youtu.be/T4nwsec0TTs https://youtu.be/aUh7Rnd5lzI bonus chase from Cayman S during 5th session. I was able to keep away from him until battery over heated (3rd lap) going up the hill at turn 6...

between 3 or 4 depending on the tire and track. Short track with lots of tight turns I use 4. High speed track I use 3.

As far as I know, The Driveway is a recommended installer by MPP. You can verify with MPP.

3rd The Driveway. Mention Bennet for a discount. They are the only one that I trust and go to. Mike has done 20+ coilovers or lowering spring install on Model 3 as well as all the MountainPass Performance arms and bushing. They will also align your car to any alignment spec you want. They torque...

@beastmode13 did a back to back comparison with Ohlins/Redwood and MPP Sports and he say the road comfort is equal and the only difference he could tell is when you hit consecutive big bumps quickly such as those white big lane divider semi-spheres. I think the reputation that Ohlins R&T damper...

lol, MPP on one side and On Point on the other.

Awesome driving, very consistent. You really are putting those RS-4 to work. I love the balance of your car, do you mind sharing your alignment and sway bar setting?

Most likely the rotor is off the shelf but the hat is CNC
