Lack of tires is what kept The Racer from running this past year.

Re: Who's Racing Their SVX?
I have been running 17in race tires and standard brakes which has not been good. Right now I am doing a upgrade to Brembo's from a STI, 355 mm by 32 mm 2 part rotors and to fit it all under the car going to 18 in by 9.5 in rims with 265/35/18 Hankook Z221 tires.
Its proving more complicated then I expected but hell getting there in the end Tony

Re: Who's Racing Their SVX?
All we're doing so far is hillclimbs and time-attack events with no more than 3 or 4 flying laps so the demand on the brakes is not a high with much less heat being built up in the short sessions. It is something we will have to address as well in the near future if we want to do anything more with the car.
