I'll keep you posted airflow.Hope your enjoying that car.

Yes that's what I got on the rear is posi's.The front I have EBC.Im still beding them in but so far they feel nice.

I have just completed an upgrade of my rotors and brake pads after my last track day.I have slotted performance rotors and heavy duty racing pads.If anyone is looking to upgrade, the jobs is so eady.I did all 4 wheels in about 1.5 hours.Very easy brake job. I forgot to get a shot of front post job.if anyone wants to see it, let me know. Brent

Congrats Airflow.Im sure you will enjoy like the rest of us.What a beautiful machine

At the hub yes.When we see them at the factory, they have the coating on them. o.

Hey. Check out this site. http://www.cquence.net/partfinder/product/list/?year=2017&make=Lincoln&model=MKZ They have the parts for our car. When you add the rotor to the cart, the pads will show up. They show a Posi Quiet but they are still in R/D so they have Raybestos in stock. Im waiting on the pads so I can install everything Word to the wise, dont get the drilled stuff if you plan to drag or track your car regularly. They tend not to last long both for rotor and the pads I see your in my area. You should come out to the track with your 3.0T. Closes fun tracks are Waterford or Grattan out in Belding

More photos from track day.i have upgraded the brakes and rotors so far.Tires are on the way.Next track day will be 7/8

Just general hesitation has always been a problem with the Ecoboost engines.Its in the timing and fuel management from what i understood.NA cars like my Shelby, I don't have that issue at all.

Can you recommend those parts or where to get them?

That Z is alot of fun. More fun that I can remember during development days. There was really no push for "track days" under development goals. I hope after my bosses see this performance, some development could potentially happen.When I ordered my car, the drivers package vehicle would take a few weeks to come in so I went with the standard. Those vector chassis cars are fun.

I have other videos of me chasing down and passing "track cars". one was a BMW who had a plate bragging about his 350HP. I smoked him. As far as upgrades, I ordered slotted/drilled rotors and I'm in the process of trying to hunt down some performance brake pads. So far, im not seeing any. Lastly, Ill throw some f1's or semi sticky tires.We have some of those lying around the shop so Ill give that a try. Next rack day is July 8-9 so Ill be out there again.

So manyof the guys i race with came up to me and said " your putting that on track" they were surprised how well it did. I saw your ride on another forum and its out of it element for sure lol. I might have to suggest to my bosses that we add some performance brakes at least to the next gen cars and a next sport gear box

Thank you

I finally got out and tracked the AWD today with 3 Balls Racing here in Michigan at Grattan Raceway. I have a few impressions from the onset. First off, I know that a Lincoln is not your ideal car for a track day. It's a luxury car- far from a track day car. I did a total of 40 laps. Biggest issue is brakes. The oems bake right off the car after 30 plus laps. I took it easy where I could but I brought the car out to see what it was capable of. Down the straightaways, you could easily hit 120-125 mph, but once again, the brakes are not designed for these high speeds. Totally understand. The transmission spends a lot of time hunting for the proper gear in Auto/D mode. In sport mode, you get the same issues. In 4th gear, I was able to get up to 116-117 before it seems to hit the limit of speed. I ran the first 2 sessions with the track control one. Last 2 sessions, I turned the AdvanceTrac and traction off. The times picked up about 9 seconds - i didn't have to worry about the systems stopping power to the wheels of course. Cornering is pretty good but the Michelin's were hooting and howling, there is some grip there but a nice set of Summer or Sport tires would make the ride better and provide more grip. Back to cornering, with throttle off entering the cornering, as soon as you get back on it, there is huge hesitation from the engine and transmission. As I exited turn 1 into 2 at Grattan,after 3-5 laps, as I WOT, there was absolutely no power. Its like the car couldn't comprehend what was happening. The car has great potential down the straightaways, corners, etc. Something I would recommend if your thinking of tracking near you. Brakes- upgrade them, invest in a Tuner- Like Livernois and great tires. Other than that, I had fun between runs in my other car- running this car around that great track. You can find my fast lap video here Note: I ran down some modded Toyota's, BMW's, Suburas, and I kept some Race Miata's at bay but they killed me in the corners but on the straights, I could hold my own- In a Lincoln.

Sorry I have a set of G2

Goodyear summer semi slick street/racing tire.Very grippy tires

I got my hands on a set of F1 Eagles from the pile at work so I'm going to put those on for the runs in a few weeks.Should be fun

I did 35 percent on my 15 MKZ and it turned out pretty nice.I literally used window tint and it held up pretty good.

Hello Group I was wondering if anyone had tracked or plan on tracking there 3.0T MKZ this upcoming racing season?I'm taking my car during open testing with the job at Grattan and also with 3 Ball here in Michigan and Waterford Raceway in April.

I have heated steering wheel and the heat comes through perfectly.
