Ok going to my first track experiance in about a month up at Watkins Glen. Im trying to get a parts list together from what ive gathered from the forum and want to make sure i dont miss anything.

GTM Oil cooler (obv a must)
brake pads (swap them for the track day)
High temp brake and clutch fluid
Sway bars (Stillen?)
Tires (BFgoodrich gForce TA KDW - not the best for the track but they'll do)
Spacers

My big question is would putting lowering springs in be a bad idea.. I think it might be bc the shocks and springs arnt matched for each other (not ideal for racing) and im not looking to put coil overs in at this moment. i want to learn how the car handles first. Also is their anything that i should add or subtract? Looking at around $2000 limit to get started. minus the tires bc i have those.

Thanks in advance fellas
