BFG R1 tires.

Once you experience an R Comp tire on the track, there is no going back. Once warmed up, difference in traction over even a good street tire is night and day. Car will turn in places you could never have imagined. Got a little over two full seasons on my last set so not ridiculously expensive.

I haven't experienced them yet really didnt think they would last that long 2 seasons sounds good....

I use Continental slicks, as Rick stated you will never run street tires again. I buy them off kijiji. Approx $75-100 each.

You should have dedicated track brakes. One experience of brake fade into a corner is all it takes.
I've personally only run Hawk pads for no reason really. Hawk HPS pads don't work in my experience.
Hawk HP+ front and rear is what I'm currently using. Work great, reasonably priced, but may not last as long as other pads.
Plain old Ford (brembo) rotors too. Just can't kill those rotors.

Expanding on the brakes, fluid is extremely important. You want a fluid that doesn't boil as easily as stock. I've been using SuperBlue for several years, though no longer available due to its colour. Will be switching to their amber fluid once my current stock of Blue is exhausted.

While we talk about all kinds mods to make our rides perform better, the most important one is a driver mod. Until you have some seat time pushing your car around a road course or drag strip, you will be the weak link. Your stock ride will be more than capable to put a perma-grin on your mug.

CG Lock. Spend your energy driving not holding yourself in your crappy stock Fox seats.

I ran Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 this year that’s what I had, hawk hps, and motul 5.1

Impressed with the fairly budget price tires- got the job done better than my continental dw ( sorry conti fans)

Motul fluid held up but definitely need changing.
Hawk hps - disappointing- spongy ,brake fade initial bite good but that disappears- cooked them too
but I guess it got the job done I didn’t go into the grass mind you I don’t go “ Brad Speed” lol

- for data and video I used TrackAddict- free version lets you record 3 u have to delete to record more- $11.99 paid version unlimited
U can Bluetooth your obd2 as well and wifi external GoPro

Sorry to hear on the pads, initial bite and feel seemed excellent.
Track ap, how well does it work? Problems or things that aren't cool with it?

Have not stepped up to r-comps yet as I drive to the track on my tire setup. I’ve always run the Nitto NT-05’s and have been very happy with them on my set-up. I’ve had 2 sets so far. Could have gotten another season out of the last set, but I must have run or slid over something that took some chunks out, and on one tire I had a groove that cut into the belts.



Next year, going to be sporting a set of Nankang NS2r’s

And G-Loc R10 pads on the Ford (brembo) rotors

Bring it by my place Ron and I will get them cleaned up for you. PM me and we can make an arrangement for time. If my car was a summer toy and had the occasional track event I would definitely move up to the RBF 600.

In terms of brake fluid I have had great success with Motul DOT 5.1 in my past vehicles. I am due in my Q and will be running it again. Definitely will be upgrading front rotors and pads all around.
