- Upgraded fluid (Castrol SRF?)
- Race pads (Anything available that can be used on the street as well as the track? Are the BMW M performance pads something that can be dual purpose? I don't mind a bit of noise/dust)
- Alignment specs for both street and track? (Stock wheel/tires to start) Suggestions for a decent dual purpose alignment? (-3 degrees camber seems popular but I wasn't sure on toe/caster etc). I'm willing to sacrifice a bit on track to avoid a lot of tramlining.
I have a fair bit of experience lapping in previous cars and have done autocross as well. (Subaru STI, C5 corvette, various other cars)
Ideally I'd love something I can go have fun driving 8/10ths on the track and drive home with minimal fuss.
Thanks for your help appreciate it.

Hi Chris, given your previous experience, I would recommend pads, Castro's SRF and better tires than the Contis when you are ready for them. I ran a fully stock car at Summit Main in October around 1:30/lap and the rotors were hurting. The list above is the list of things that I will do in the spring to prep for the track and will also do camber plates.
