Great info! Thank you for sharing! Changing to SS brake lines and fluids on the Coupe as we speak.My track setup and suggestions:
I will spend about half a day swapping out all of the track-dedicated parts when it's party time. I like to keep the V classy on the street, so it's worth the time to swap parts over once every couple of months.
- Braking - SS brake lines, good fluid, dedicated solid rotors and pads. I had pedal fade during my last track day and will be testing this upgraded setup next month. Don't run drilled rotors on the track due to risk of cracking.
- Wheels / tires - dedicated track setup. I'm running 18"x9.5" TSW Nurburgring, +40mm with 275/40-18 square for the track only, testing next month as well.
- Suspension - I'm running Eibach coupe springs on my sedan with factory dampers. It works well for my purposes as the car does not seem to get unsettled, even running over curbs. Consider upgrading control arm, subframe, and diff bushings to help with rigidity.
- Cooling - whatever your flavor of HX cooling. I'm running a Weapon-X low mount, Varimax pump, and expansion tank. Good news is these will be need for more power anyways, so it's money well spent. Consider a diff cooler setup as well. I haven't had any issues with my stock diff, but may add one after this next event.
- Safety - mount an accessible fire extinguisher in the car, keep your full-face helmet visor down, and sunroof closed. Consider adding a dedicated bucket seat for track days as the stock seats (mine are non-Recaro) allow too much movement, especially when trying to heal-toe coming into a turn.
I'm assuming all of this applies to the V2. Curious if any of the advice would be slightly different for the V3?
