Message	These are the things that I would upgrade and have upgraded as I ran my car on the track with stock parts and then upgraded the following. Made a big difference, especially the brakes. 1) Big front brake kit (Brembo) with Hawk HPS. Blues are good but only for track use. 2) Stainless steel braided brake lines. I got those with my brake upgrade. 3) Motul brake fluid 4) Koyo upgraded radiator. 5) Redline water wetter 6) Nismo radiator cap 7) Upgraded sway bars 8) Upgraded lowering springs 9) Tension rods 10) Front adjustable arms 11) Rear adjustable arms 12) Front and rear strut tower bar if so desired 13) 300 Degree master cylinder brace 14) Larger oil cooler 15) Larger wheels and tires of course Just to name a few. Just my $.02 from experience. Don't track my car anymore though but as I stated above, I had a chance to run the car close to stock and then after I upgraded the items listed above. I eat rice, I don't put rice on my car! sig quote by AEFL92, "you're not a pic whore...you're a pic pornstar..."
