Stock 17"

215/45/17 RE070 fronts
255/40/17 RE070 rears

Project Mu HC+ brake pads
Cryotech rotors.

I'll probably have my camber adjusted as well...

thinking -1.5 front -2.5 rear.

Car is stock minus the brake pads/rotors and clutch/flywheel.

Oh, and I should mention that it's a s2k, not a G.

It depends completely on how you drive and the type of tires you're using.

If it is your first time going and you're on street tires, you won't use very much tire material. I'd guesstimate about 2/32nds (new street tires generally have 10 or 11 32nds, are are changed out at 2/32nds remaining)

Hmm good to know. I'm just debating whether to get the stoptech stage 2 brake package which includes slotted rotors, pads, stainless lines and fluid.
Or getting a bbk for the front which is alot of money for me.
Also I'm probably going to be on stock sport suspension.
If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them!

Fresh brake fluid is always a good thing; make sure they're bled properly. You don't want any water/air in your system at the track when you're stressing the brake system.

I personally only use solid rotors, but everyone has their own preferances. You'll definately need a pad capable of higher temperatures than OEM; you'll be doing a lot more braking at the track than you do on the street.

If you do get a BBK, get the BBK for all four corners, not just the front. You want to preserve your brake bias. Be sure the BBK kit is made for your car, or do the math and size it yourself properly.


@R&D: Do you guys have a tech sheet for the track day?

Thanks Mike for all the help.
I'll be sure to do everything you said.
BTW. Can I take my car to your dealer and get those done?
