Springs or coilovers
 

Hey everyone! I need ya'lls help again. I got tanabe lowered springs back in LA, moved to austin, and now it's scraping everywhere and it hurts my soul. It's a daily driver but with 475whp and crappy texas roads I can't get traction anywhere to have fun. And from what people tell me about the cops here, maybe it's a good thing. That being said I'm thinking I should utilize my time here and start going to the track. I also have an r6 I want to take to the track. :excited:

A) What am I really getting myself into with the track? I know I'll get addicted.
B) Should I just put the stock springs back on or invest in coilovers? I don't really know the difference and I tried researching but it went over my head. I do like the idea of stiffening it up a little bit, I love corners. I don't care about comfort.
C) Sway bars: overkill? Do I need them?
D) Do I need to get another dyno?
E) How much in debt am I going to be after all this
F) It's supercharged and I don't have a oil cooler... how necessary is that? (not suspension I know)
G) This forum rocks and you guys have more or less built my car so thank you all!

Gotta go!!

Everything is really already here.

Get the 34 row oil cooler.

UPGRADE YOUR BRAKES!!!!!!!!!!! You'll need pads and fluid at a minimum, probably ducting and SST lines if you're running that much HP

Take a driving course and figure out for yourself what you don't like about the way your car handles.

Take it to the track bone A$$ stock then upgrade from there.

Have you done any driving classes in the past? If not, consider Driveway Austin :twocents:

Im taking my first steps at autocross. I will see what is needed as I go.

I recommend The Driver's Edge for instructed track events.
