[s-cars] BIRA vs Big Red (ECS2, etc)

I disagree!!! I think we are in total agreement. You're running front 
coil-overs with 400lb linear(if I'm not mistaken) springs and Koni adjustables at the 
rear with them set at full rebound. Your suspension is set to fully counter 
the tendency for these front heavy cars to dive under hard braking with Big 
Front Brake Upgrades(BFBU). Brian was running larger 355mm rotors but I can't 
remember what springs he had in front. He also ran the Koni adjustables with 
400lb coil-overs in the rear but I don't know where he had the rebound set. I do 
know he complained about bottoming the suspension in the front because of the 
dive. That's how my feeble memory remembers it and I'm sticking to my story.

I haven't installed the larger front bar because I really like the balance I 
have now. I use coil-overs in the rear with 400lb linear springs and Eibach 
Prokits in the front good for about 280lbs. I have the Happersized rear sway bar 
set at full hard and the car feels very neutral with a little power oversteer 
exiting the apex. I could use a stiffer front suspension but this is also my 
daily driver and with the revalved Bilsteins I am at the limit for an 
acceptable comfort ride. My wife barely tolerates my car's ride and sound so we 
usually drive her car when we go somewhere together.

Have you tried the Pagid Oranges in the front? Are they available in your 
rotor?
