invest in more DE events. If the car is safe and reliable- better ROI on more seat time and experience
your skills have more to do with your performance at this point. Changing things will only serve as a distraction- and frankly you can screw things up- creating problems that don't exist and then spending $$$ and countless hours trying to sort it out-- all while you've yet to develop the experience to appreciate the changes being made.
safety issues: good quality brake pads, brake fluid. Are brakes performing ok- are you experiencing brake fade? Suspect not if you are using Motul.
street pads will not hold up for track use- once you are progressed past "first time" DE. Advice: talk to Clark at Apexperformance.net - let him make recommendations based on your anticipated usage. (just did that with him on mine last week-- and I've been doing track events/racing for 30 years)
Do not change spring rates, shocks, sway bars etc. Save your money right now. Safety equipment is priority over performance equipment.
When you can detect changes in how the car performs lap to lap by adjusting the air pressure a couple of pounds-- you're not wise to be buying bolt on goodies.
priority of spending:
1. making car safe & reliable.
2. More experience (seat time).
3. Tires. Tires are MOST important piece of performance equipment on the car.
Might not be what you want to hear- but I've just saved you thousands of dollars and lots of frustration.
Learn to drive what you got, and get teh most out of it. Suggest maybe investing a few bucks in Ross Bentley's book on performance driving. He has a night weekly email too.
good luck.
Shiny side up. Keep it on the black surface.
