Goals: 5 or 6 track days per season, my car is a DD so I want to maintain a reasonable comfort level for street driving, I'm willing to mod the car but want to minimize the expense. To date my mods are: RS3's in stock size, RBF 600 brake fluid, CL RC5+ pads, Perrin panel filter, Grimmspeed strut brace, Grimmspeed master cyl brace, Harry's Laptimer for both video and data.


My initial thoughts are crash bolts and alignment, slotted/drilled front rotors, and more track time. Input would be appreciated.
If you want to do a bit more, rear lower control arms, front camber plates, and an alignment.

It'll reduce your tire wear significantly on the outer edges, give you better cornering grip, and you won't outgrow the parts.

Some long term items would be coilovers, BBK, datalogger, and LSD. You won't outgrow any of these items, except perhaps the coilovers (depends on the option you choose).

Are you driving with Traction/Stability off? Pedal Dance? If not, I recommend you do so.
