My opinion is if it's your first track event still treat it as a serious tracker. Don't half a$$ do it and don't short change it when it comes to brakes or the results will be just that. Tracking cost money. So make sure you want and can make the investment. Also consider repair cost if any thing goes wrong. I don't like to say there a such thing as a light track day. You will go fast, you will brake harder and do this repeatly for several session in a day. Protect yourself and your investment.

Brakes on the Z get hot. So SS lines, good pads(basically track pads), and fluid is a must in my book. Try not to look at it any other way except for to buy even better parts. I only state this cause I care and worry about people who track.
