2011 STI hatch on Firestone Indy 500 and Stoptech Street Performance.... Probably not the best pad choice as I learned at the end of this session. I stupidly didn't take a cool down lap before bringing the car back in, suddenly felt really dehydrated by the end so I pitted. First time tracking this car at the Ridge, thanks to TSS x Revscene (especially Kalson) for putting all this together.

I would say this session really had no traffic issues. The black TSX driver is very fast as well and it was fun to try to keep up through turn 1 with him. Definitely pushed myself harder because of it!
Car is running a stage 2 Cobb OTS (ACN91) tune, I would estimate around 270-280 WHP. Setup wise there's a few things I do want to tweak, for starters the front is only running -1.8° of camber, and the car plows more than I'd like at turns 5, 6, 8A, and 13. With a bit less understeer I would be a lot more confident to use more track (not having to worry about flying off). I know I'm late on the gas at 5 and 8A/B. Overall the car does feel quite nose-heavy, I'm running cheap Prime $900 coilovers which seem pretty okay but I think I can fine tune the existing setup a bit for improvements. Ultimately it's my first time tracking the car here so I wasn't too sure what it needed.
Braking-wise the current setup with original rotors and Stoptech Streets obviously leaves some to be desired but the Firestones are not all that sticky, but something that can handle heat a bit better would be great. Plan to head back in September with some minor tweaks
Dash Cam to help a bit with the shaky helmet video, using the LG Innotek LGD521 for this video.
