The brakes? of course, although they'll probably wonder why you're having the brake fluid replaced ahead of factory schedule.

You'll want to have fresh/relatively fresh fluids in the car, and top everything off as well. Make sure your tires have at least 4/32" left, and at least 5mm brake materiel.

This is all just basic tech inspection stuff...

25% as in 4/32" or 25% as in 2.5/32"?

If it's 4/32", you can probably get away with it but you'll be driving home on slicks.

2.5/32"... throw them away. They're good for a few burnouts.

Question: My car is all stock suspension, with intake and exhaust... would I be the least modded, look like a tard bringing my car to the track. I am a very spirited driver and think this would be a blast! Any input for a young track noob?

Intake/Exhaust is more mods than the car I'll be running.

Everyone has to start somewhere right? Stock or close to stock is also the best way to start. You'll have a blast!
