Message	If you track once a month or so, SS lines, stock calipers, Hawk blue pads, and motul 600 are fine. If you track more frequently, you may want to invest in a big brake kit. I like my RMS/Wilwood kit because I can buy R-compound slicks a little cheaper in the stock size. I have gone through a set of tires in about 12 sessions at the track. Suspension is also a must- new shocks, Eibach springs, sway bars are a good place to start. Sport 500s/manifolds are plenty of power for me at the track. I only run 12 psi with my setup, and that can match most of the big boys at the track. Good luck, and enjoy...
