    not hating, really im not. You have no idea what you dont know yet.

    If you want to run adapters and other cheap shit on the street where you are driving at 10% of the cars limits fine, dont bring that shit to the track and put others in jeopardy because you want to "look cool"

    your best bet is to run as close to stock as possible upgrading only pads and brake fluid. even stock suspension is fine, dont upgrade anything unless it is worn out and needs to be replaced.

          Chances are im going to just run R comps on an a separate set of wheels for the track.

          But I hope you felt cool calling me out.

            No Type As for track wheels. Almost anything else would be better, but hey, its your car not mine.

              this is not about me feeling cool, not about me calling you out, you called yourself out and everyone in the furom called you on it.

                  lol I really don't think Kish and Brian are hating, they are just looking out for your best interest on the track. While their advice may seem like a slight at your judgment, they are talking from years of experience as track junkies. Kish is somewhat local to you and is a track instructor too. You can obviously go with whatever you want and not to take what they say to heart but even if you don't go with everything they say, at least hear them out.

                  Just my

                  On a brighter note, I know whatever you do it will look sick so just do your thing and I'm sure we'll all be satisfied with the end result

                    you can get 5x120 borbet (the original) type As believe it or not.

                    would probably end up being cheaper and better all around than fakes with adapters.

                    shocking, i know.

                      to corner balance the car maybe? or to play with spring rates to find the best set up for him?

                        You don't need race compound tires. Bleed the brakes and just go.

                          Get some ds2s or contours or something.

                            Team Dynamics, Koseis or TR Motorsport wheels for track duty. DUDE, trust me on this. Function over form is important at the track. Get the car safe and save your hard earned dough for seat time if you are serious about going to the track regularly.

                              all that's well and fine but unless you are racing, it most likely doesn't matter and you are unlikely to do it or do it right. you are better of learning to drive the car as it is rather than worry about "setup" at the track. better to focus on seat time and keeping the car reliable so you can maximize that seat time.
