Depends how much you intend to track. My last track experience, the brakes really let me down. Not sure if it was the pads or what, but it was not great. It's what prompted me to get these calipers (and they were a good ).
But really, I don't want to pay more for 18's on the front. Need to buy wheels, tires are more expensive, and I'll probably bend at least one wheel within a year. No thanks.
On track the only things that really let me down were tires and seat. Other than that the car was
Brakes would likely be a much bigger issue with driver mod. I actually found braking to be the most difficult part of track driving.
As in where to start braking?
That's the hard part with this car...you can get going so fast on straights, it takes time to figure out how late you can brake. And once you start to push that limit, the brakes start to go. On my last outing, something happened to pad deposits or something and once the brakes got hot, they'd shake violently under hard application. They were fine when they cooled, doe. That was annoying and I want to avoid that again. Now that my car can go every faster, I'm worried about brakes, but too to do anything about it.
I really should just get 18's and run the waxables.
