I concur with all of this. I'm local to DSC and my FL5 was the one they used for development. I've been very impressed with their efforts in the development process. I've run 3 files now, each substantially improving on the last. They had possession of my car 3 separate times, keeping it for 2...

If you're only street driving, the OEM fluid and lines will be just fine. I haven’t run RBF 660 before, but I have used ATE 200 in other cars, and I boiled it quickly on track, so I jumped straight to SRF after that. FCP Euro stocks RBF 600, RBF 660, and Castrol SRF, so you can take advantage...

I can't speak to long-term rotor wear with the bronze bushings, but I do think they’re a great upgrade for the price. I primarily bought them to help prevent the potential issue of uneven rear pad wear. I was pleasantly surprised by the improvement in brake pedal firmness. I consider myself...

Gotcha, that makes sense for your use case then. My car is also my daily driver. I got tired of bleeding after every event haha. SRF lasted me a full season which was 8 days of driving with no noticeable drop off, so I found it to work well for dual duty, changing it seasonally. I guess WBP...

Gotcha, I figured that may have been the case after I typed my response lol. Another reason I just do a full flush is because the shelf life isn't very long, and can degrade once the seal is opened. I usually just have a sealed bottle handy to take with me in case I need it at the track...

Interesting for sure. Are you on stock lines? I wonder if that has something to do with it, but I'm doubtful. Curious what you end up finding. I've done quite a lot of brake flushes when I worked as a technician, but I'm no race engineer, maybe someone else can chime in. Pad fade, to me, feels...

In my experience, Castrol SRF has been phenomenal throughout a past full season of use on my GTI compared to other fluids I've used. I expect similar performance when I take the FL5 out later this month. Using ATE 200 in the past, I would need to bleed after every track day. Was this your first...

Sounds like you may have boiled some of the fluid. Could just do a quick bleed to get any air out, but I prefer to just do a flush with a full bottle of SRF since it only takes a few more minutes (and FCPEuro lifetime replacements). What fluid are you running and how much did you use to flush...

I'd potentially drive down, depending on the date. Having read through Jester's thread and all the great testimonials on here, and from my detailer who had an FL5, I will definitely be going with him in the future. I'm just trying to be a little responsible and get some track seat time on...

It likely turns on with the door due to it tapping into the dome light connector. I haven’t had any issues with it staying on for too long, and it’s simpler to wire cleanly so I’ve been happy with it. I do have a dash cam hardwired to the fuse box.

I used this video as a guide and no issue wiring mine in with a mirror tap. I used this mirror tap for my Uniden R8. I will say this particular mirror tap kit is on the shorter side, so if you want to mount yours under the mirror, it may be too short. I routed mine to the left of the mirror...

Messaged. I’m considering getting rid of my stocks for another set of 18s.

I’ve had great experiences using PirateShip.com to ship car parts as an another alternative for discounted shipping labels, with options for insurance.

I saw some of this when it was posted. My opinion on the matter is Jason Lewis is a cool guy and has done a lot for development of cooling solutions for the FK8. He’s documented a lot of this and has been a valuable asset to the community. It seems the manufacturer he’s chose to work with has a...
