Just finished reading through here and there is a wealth of informaiton, a big thanks to all who have contributed so much. A little back story and a few questions.
I did my first HPDE last weekend and am completely hooked. I grew up racing go karts with my dad but it has been a number of years since I have been on a track and first time I have ever taken a car to the track. It went really well but by the second day I was really fading the brakes and pushing the stock tires to the edge, especially around fast sweepers.
As I prepare for the next event, I want to make some upgrades to the car but want to get the most for my money and I want to make sure I plan for future growth of the car. My ultimate goal is to have a daily driver that is easily trackable. with that said, here are my plans in order:
- Upgrade to koni shocks (currently running Eibach pro springs and blew the left rear shock at the track)
- Upgrade to Carbotech XP10s with Torque T700
- Upgrade wheels/tires: My ultimate goal is to have roughly 225 whp and 200ft/lb. Should I go with 225, 235 or 245s? I know 225 would be great for now but am not sure if that will be enough tire at the higher power (considering ZII, R11As, etc.)
- Alignment- Camber bolts in the front and SPL LCA and SPL toe arms (shop I spoke with recommended both SPL products, are they both necessary?). Should I go ahead and go with camber plates now for the front? I would prefer to avoid the cost if possible but will do it if necessary.
That is the plan in the short run. Please let me know any thoughts or recommendations.
