However, I might switch to a different street pad to achieve 100% squeal free braking lol.
I don't track nearly as often as you so I thought Ohlins would be nice upgrade over the stock suspension My only concern is the rebuild interval for Ohlins. We'll see how long they will last for me.
I have never weighed my M4 unfortunately but it had MPE which saves about 25lbs over the stock exhaust so stock vs stock my M4 might have been lighter than the M2C (most likely it was). I'll try to save another 30+lbs from the M2 with an exhaust and take break for a while for modding  M2 doesn't have lithium battery so there is a huge potential to shave off another ~40lbs with a $700 lithium battery but I don't wanna remove that much weight from the rear without touching the front (not to upset the weight distribution). |
Interesting, my DS2500 were nearly silent, I would only get squeaking in rare occasions. Maybe they just need to be bed in a little more? The DS1.11 is much worse noise. Pad changes with the AP kit are painless, no punching stupid pins.
It'll be interesting to see what you can do with the car once (if?) you take it to the track. Would love to hear your comparison vs your M4.
Also, are you planning on carbon fiber roofing? That should save a little weight but it's also expensive AF.
