After the first time, and you get faster, then all the other upgrades will be necessary, but as a first time track outing, you won't be pushing it near the limits.

Back on topic tho, thinking about buying a square setup that still looks good. Anyone have any good looking 18 inch square setups?

Is anyone running a 19 inch square setup, I know that'd stress the engine more but I'd prefor the 19 inch look over 18s.

I've tracked mine with Motul RBF600 brake fluid and Carbotech XP8 brake pads (with my base brakes). I've only tracked it once so far and this setup was ok, it was my first time as well. Since you have a manual, you should probably upgrade the clutch fluid as well. Good luck and have fun!
