Well, I made it to Homestead on Sunday and I did get the car out for a few laps. The good news is:
1) The tires worked very well!
2) The suspension was brilliant!
3) the instructor loved the sound of the engine... and the handling!
4) I ran down (and nearly over) a couple doctors playing with their Porches!
The bad news was that I had/have a brake issue. After only 2-3 laps, as I began to press the brake markers a bit deeper, the car developed a shudder in the front wheels!
I can't find any clear evidence of what the problem is ATM. I've inspected (and bleed) the brakes to no avail. At this point, I suspect there is an issue with material transfer from the OE pads to the rotors and the new pads don't like that.
Guess I'll get in touch with EBC to see what they have to say...
In the mean time, I'll clean the rotors and prep the pads again and bed them. Then I'll test them again.
Since my sessions were so short, My photographer didn't get any good shots but, here's what he did get:
The track photographer got a couple of shots so, when he posts them, I'll grab those and put them up.
I do have some video to edit and upload so, check back later...
