Oh one other update regarding that - the rear ride height sensor was screwed up while strapping it down on the dyno. It seems to be a known issue so much so in fact @visconti makes a bracket that I ordered and am about to put on. You get a chassis error while its messed up -still drivable but says take it to the dealer.

Quick Update.
Dyno day pics and video: (can't get the video to upload, I'll look into this later)

While the wheels were off, I think they'd look good on the RDX, color matches pretty damn well.

Video of my best lap during my last session. I was about 1.2 seconds slower than my best lap of the day but still pushing it a bit. I have new W3/P3 pads, brake fluid, stainless steel lines, and an oil changed planned for this weekend. I did notice the brake pedal getting a little soft later in the day so hopefully this helps.
Lap 3 and 4 of my last session.

Couple notes on this lap: I ended up going in a little to hot into turn 1 after the straight twice...probably could have saved a few tenths there by making it cleaner, I was also a little slower in the bowl leading into the straight. Tires were getting hot and brakes were hot so didn't want to take many chances.

Supra has officially been replaced.

Yep. BMW ports on the east coast (as I am now VERY well versed in) are Brunswick, Balitmore, NY/NJ

its actually a pretty short ride...I think from MX to NY/NJ (where I got off) was only like 8 or 9 days including the 2 stops for Brunswick and Baltimore

The plant down there is huge, like a small city.

Located near some property my wife and I own.
