Top 5 Mods Every Track Junkie Should Start With

Your car doesn’t need to be fully built to be track-ready. Here are 5 smart upgrades that give you the biggest bang for your buck:

1. Performance Brake Pads: Track days are brutal on stock pads. Upgrade to a high-temp compound for better stopping power and less fade.
2. Tires: Your grip is only as good as your rubber. Go for a grippy summer or 200tw tire like the Falken RT660 or Yokohama A052.
3. Stainless Brake Lines & Racing Fluid: Firmer pedal feel and better resistance to fade under repeated hard braking.
4. Seat & Harness: Stay planted in your seat so you can focus on driving—not bracing yourself. A fixed bucket or supportive sport seat makes a difference.
5. Oil Catch Can / Cooling Upgrades: Keeps temps in check when you're pushing hard and can extend engine life.

These mods boost confidence and keep your car safer under stress. They’re also cost-effective ways to make the most out of your first few events without compromising daily drivability.
