Hey everyone,
I'm getting ready for my first track event and have some questions regarding my plan. For reference it is a 2015 ST3 stock with Pilot Super Sports. This is my first track event, so I will be in the beginner category, so I won't be pushing the car as hard as it can be pushed.
From what I've read, brake pads and fluid are a must. I was gonna go with Hawk HP+ pads but I've also been recommended EBC Yellowstuff pads. Would just the front pads be enough, or would I need to get the rears as well.
My original plan was to just do the brake pads and fluid, but the more I research it the more it seems like an intercooler will be necessary, even for a beginner. I am looking at the depo 3.5" as it seems to be the best bang for the buck, especially considering I have no other mods. The event is in Michigan at the end of April, so it will still be relatively cold outside.
How does this plan sound? Would you agree with just doing the pads/fluid and intercooler? Do I for sure need the intercooler? Am I missing anything else critical?
Like I said I am just trying to learn so I don't need a large amount of mods at this time - depending on how this goes that can be further down the line.
Regards.
