I always had good results and pricing from Dann Fast in Bellevue. I haven't gotten any exhaust work done in a long time, but I'd try them first if I needed.

I've had a similar issue as well for the first time, last weekend. Since C8 has that new brake by wire system, you don't even feel that ABS is engaging, but the stopping distance increases. I think...

There's no easy way out, short of getting on the pedal slower to allow ABS to not get confused. When it happens, lifting and reapplying brakes would fix it, but good luck doing that : )

Those temps are perfectly fine. The car is pretty robust as long as it's at or below 220s, and starts significantly pulling timing above that. If it's like C7, the limp mode should be around 260...

Another thing I realized is lack of feedback when ABS is engaged. One time, I overdid braking into a corner, and I hit ICE mode or something similar. Normally, you'd get vibrations from the pedal,...

The low boost that comes with CCB booster brakes makes the pedal feel spongy, at least it did so when I swapped with J56 brakes on my C7 Z07. This is beyond just soft/hard pad, and personally felt...

A damaged lug compromises your safety just as much if not more than a compromised or cracked lug nut. The idea here is to protect lugs, not just lose weight. McGuard lug nuts are great. When...

Open end lug nuts let debris into threads, and reduce lug life.

SR21s are high friction pads like DTC70(80?), ST47, XR1, etc. If you're used to such pads, you should not have any problems.

Race 2 turns off TC and stability control, but your engine output will still be limited to available traction as calculated by PTM. It should work fine in your case.

Bigger radiator did not work well for me. Also, if anything, bigger intercooler cuts even more airflow to radiator, making it harder for it to do its job, with less and possibly hotter air flow.
