Some of my friends from work are going (Subaru guys). I really want to go, but I haven't put on my sport brakes yet (or went to any other HPDE event before)

you should go regardless to experience the event. It's amazing. PS, my EBC red-stuff melted so quick after 3-4 runs on the track, deff get some track pads before going out!

I'll be corner balancing my car this week to see where it's at. I plan on putting in a half cage over the winter with some lighter bucket seats but curious as to where I'm at right now. Will post results later this week!

From looking at your pic's. You need some supports in the center of your splitter before you lose it.

It’s actually the material. It’s ABS plastic, found out it flexes way too much and my center support bar broke off lol. I’m switching to alumalite this week.

You don’t need sport calipers for your first DE. Just bleed the brake lines and put in high temp fluid and track compound pads like Carbotechs.
