Um, we're all in MD...but JIC isn't local either and they make crap.

EDIT: RaceComp is 10.8 miles from 'Laurel, MD' via google maps

I'd go with at least RCE Tarmacs. Personally I'd call up Turn In Concepts for AST, I'd call Brian at JRZ or I'd call up Anze.

Here are the basics for your track toy:
*Gutted interior, SCCA-spec roll cage [or similar], fire suppression system
*proper race seats, 6-point harnesses, HANS, window nets, arm restraints
*Call Goodridge and get stainless brake lines made
*Call Carbotech and get brake pads made
*Swap all the car fluids with Motul, Redline, or equivalent
*Be ready to replace all the rubber suspension and power train mounts with solid, poly, or teflon-lined spherical
*Call Racecomp Engineering and have custom KW Clubsport coil overs made
*Fit strong wheels and Hoosier A6/R6, quality wheel studs

At this point, you'll be able to start developing the car.
FUN!
^^^pretty much what he said BUT Carbotech already makes the pads and DBA mades the upgraded floating rotors for the fronts

As for you wanting a turbo setup, I'd wait and see what class you want to run in, also the the pros and cons of a turbo kit on the motor, as it might not be something you want to dive into on your track toy...that you plan to drive to the track.

Even I, the massive turbo/FI nut, plan on doing an NA build for this platform first, while I work out EM and fueling options in the market. Woot for being a beta tester
