I do a lot of HPDE days at Joliet Autobahn Full which is 3.6 mile 19 turn track. Three straights I hit 110 MPH. I have a C&R street radiator, C&R intercooler and HKS oil cooler (ebay open fog light grille) with 275/35/18 PS4's and Giro disc rotors and Carbotech pads....stock power.
In October...
Few pics from the September HPDE day on the Joliet Autobahn CC full course.
High 80's and the coolant temps were perfect after 30 minute sessions with the C&R street radiator & I/C and HKS oil cooler.
I've worn out my Carbotech XP12's after 3 days here...three 110+ mph straights per 3.5 mile...
I have the exact same issue on my 2019. I noticed the bushing on the control arm slid forward. Whiteline sent revised bushings that are closed on the end and will not slide forward. I'm hoping this solves my clunking under hard braking and cornering. (Have not had time to install the new bushings)
Their customer service was awesome. Those specs will fit perfectly. The only reason I had an issue was the smaller diameter (closer the knuckle).
If you're debating tire size, I run 275/35/18 Michelin PS4s on 18x9.5 and the tire sits square on the rim.

The revised bushing is slightly shorter than the 69192 (regular civic) bushing that came in the kit. Open that fits the control arm appears to be the same diameter.
Looks like they didn't update the instructions. I have the old Type R bushing (picture on the right). It slide forward on the control arm and caused clunking. Whiteline sent me the revised Type R bushings. They look like the bushing pictured on the right.
Correct. The left most circle is what rubbed where the barrel curves up to the lip. A little grinding fixed it or a 2mm spacer. The other white spot (near the bolt) are flakes of paint. No rubbing there.
Yep but unfortunately mine rubbed the front knuckle. The BC rep said my set was the only one that had that issue. If they are still making that size, I 100% recommend it.
I have 18x8.5 +40 winter wheels and can absolutely feel a difference vs my 18x9.5 +60 BC's. The +40's take more efferent to move the steering wheel off center then the car dives into a corner vs a smooth linear progression with the higher offset.
That said, if you're only focused on tracking...
BC Forged has all the measurements and can recommend wheels based on what you want....concavity, offset, dims, ect. I have BC's 18x9.5 +60 and they just touched barrel at full lock in the front on the knuckle. BC can make a 18x9.5 +58 and you would be 100% perfect. Or, you could go with a 19x10...
I have the C&R street radiator ( I live in central IL and daily it), reverse flow hoses and HKS oil cooler. I ran Joliet Autobahn Full last September. It was overcast and 70*. The car ran perfect. The temp gauge never moved. It was perfect through six 20 minute sessions.
Hopefully the tracks...
