FK1000P from FinishKare is still very good for the money.
Really easy to apply and remove, you can leave it on as long as you want and it'll still buff off easily.
Bonus is that you can use it as a wheel sealant as well.
Some pretty good beading
The rear ARB will make it lively in the wet, just so you know.
As for wheels, I have speedline 2118's and they are fairly heavy but I don't know any different because that's all I've ever used on road and track.
Braid Maxlight's are also another option available from Pure Motorsport in Clio...
That bent bit of metal that joins the two 18mm bolts together will be the culprit if it's bent out of shape.
I've had the same happen on mine.
Take if off and then tighten the bolts and test to see if the caliper slides.
Depends on the driver I suppose, but I get about 3 track days out of the fronts.
Spoke to a guy who races in the Civic Cup and he sees the fronts off in one 20 minute race 😂
I don't think they do quite as much on the 172 Cup because of the lack of ABS, but they get fairly warm on mine 😅
You can see a good amount of pad material transfer too, so they definitely work.
If it's lowered and the ARB is under tension, then adjustable links will make a difference.
You don't want any preload on the ARB ideally.
Need to set the length of the link when the car is at normal ride height.
