Your number one priority should be tires and brakes.

Stainless Braided Brake lines,
Change the fluid to at least Motul 600,
Change the brake pads - I've found Hawk 5.0's to be excellent for both track and street.

I ran PSS on the track and next year will keep them for street use and go for a dedicated track tire, probably the RE-71R just so I dont burn through my street tires as fast.
Any drawbacks to using track-rated brake fluid?

What compromises come with those pads on the street.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
