Whoa, I just got back from a family vacation to see all these awesome tips from so many. Thanks a ton folks!
I tried my best to summarize it in the following:
Beginner (no track experience)
Many think no mods are needed for the track if you're just getting started.
But some cautioned that for safety reasons, at a minimum you should do the following:
- Track pads: Recommendations are the Ferodo DS2500, Ferodo DS1.1, Pagid RSL29 Yellow.
- Brake fluid: A high temperature brake fluid, the Castrol SRF brake fluid seems to be a favorite here.
Beginner+/Intermediate (a few track sessions)- Track pads: See above.
- Brake fluid: See above.
- Negative camber
- Dedicated track wheels: 18" APEX wheels are a popular suggestion.
- Track tires: Contentious topic but favored tires seem to be RE-71R, NT-01, RS4
