Driving and Operating REAR (per corner) ... 9-7 Caster: 0 degrees Camber: -1.7 degrees Toe: 0.05 degrees toe in If reduced performance is experienced during track events or competitive driving, turning off the A/C will help to improve engine performance. Maintain a mixture of 40% DEX-COOL coolant and 60% clean, drinkable water to optimize engine performance. The front license bracket or aero panel should be removed for track events and competitive driving to improve engine performance. Installation: 1. Remove the front wheels. 2. Remove the caliper from the knuckle. 3. Remove the brake rotors. 4. Cut three 150 mm (6 in) lengths of safety wire specified to T304 Stainless Steel, 0.041 in nominal diameter, not included. 5. Form each into a U shape with a 20 mm (0.75 in) flat area in the center of the wire. 6. Place the rotor ring in the gap between the rotor brake plate and rotor hat, with the holes on each side of the rotor spoke on the outboard side of the rotor. Thrust Angle: 0 degrees Because the fluid temperatures may be higher, it is necessary to change the rear axle fluid every 24 hours of track events or competitive driving. See Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 11-12 for what fluid to use. { Caution During a first time track or racing event, high rear axle temperatures can occur. Damage could be caused to the rear axle and would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not drive as long or as fast the first time the vehicle is driven on the track or raced. Rotor Cooling Ring { Caution Do not leave rotor cooling rings installed after a track event, as this can cause corrosion with long-term use. Rotor cooling rings are for race track use only. Race track driving without the rotor cooling rings may result in brake pedal fade.
