The end result was 0 fade no matter what I did, including arriving at turn 10a over 140 mph.

For my next event, I will have all the rest of the safety gear, as well as recording gear to start acquiring some metrics to work with.

All that being said, I do have some questions! First, do you use a 4 point harness? I just called Schroth and they said that nobody has a certified 4 point harness for the F87 just yet... They should have one in the next 6 months.

Additionally, I would really like to know: how has the F87 held up in the last couple of years!? How many track days are you logging per year? Any major issues? Have you upgraded the brakes at all? My preferred set up for suspension at this time is exactly what you installed. Did you do the install? How much was the final bill? I would really appreciate any and all feedback!!

I will probably start a thread myself as I work on this dual purpose project car.
I use a Schroth quick fit pro. Don't recall which model (F80?), but as you said not certified for F87. Doesn't bother me.
I've been trying to do 3-4 HPDE a year. Missed recent RA due to a broken foot
Only brake mods are fluid and PFC08 pads. I'm typically into 10A at 130-135 and don't have fade.
I love the MCS, but they needed a rebuild after <25k mi of DD and track use.
Changed spring rates and added helper springs this time around.
