You may want to pickup a heavier oil since track temps thin the oil too much. IMO its worthwhile to get a baffled oil catch can as well. If you plan on tracking often, pickup a spare coil in case cyl 1 goes (p351 CEL) and put some heat tape or something to protect it from going bad. Also wrap the existing coil (front passenger side = cyl 1). Its good practice to know how to wrench certain items before you get in a bad situation so you aren't twiddling your thumbs at the track. Don't worry its really simple, just remove 3 bolts on the ecu on the passenger side and move it out of the way. The plugs are a bit trickier but really easy if you have a deep socket and a 3" extension.

It seems like you may be new to tracking based on your question. More expensive parts don't always mean its the best. IMO its absurd to spend that much on brake fluid and oil filter. As Firecruiser stated the oem filter and ATE 200 works perfectly, both I also use. Just a thought and I may be anal about this, but I changed my trans fluid pretty early with a few thousand miles just for a peace of mind to ensure no metal shavings were present before driving it hard. When I drained it, I didn't see much foreign matter at all so it should be ok if you don't.

Once you start regularly going to the track pickup a spare set of rotors, pads, and calipers as a backup. Have fun, be safe, and keep your ego at home.
