Go shopping for me! Budget = $900 to get trackday ready.
Okay so I have been spending hours and hours looking at how best to use $900 that I am told is going to appear in my bank account in a week or so.
Heres the thing though...I'm completely lost...As I do research I uncover more and more potential modifications, products, prices, conflicting information and part numbers that never seem to be the same twice. The car is a 2006 2.5 WRX. I do not want any power or cosmetic mods at all. I'm aiming to hit AHG or Wanneroo once a month at most and the rest of the cars driving is just daily stuff with the odd corner taken 'at speed'. I dont mind getting my hands dirty so I can fit parts myself... So here is what I have so far: DBA Slotted discs front (not DBA4000, more expense and perhaps overkill for my application) Ferodo DS2500 or equivalent on all 4 corners Brake fluid Ultrex brace kit Whiteline front & rear anti-roll bars (non-adjustable) Is this $900 worth? Am I heading in the right direction with my sweaty mitt full of cash? |

Definately right direction, suspension, brakes and tyres is where you need to be concentrating. Wouldn't bother with rear brakes unless they are due for replacement
EDIT: Non normally a big fan of Ferodo's but just searched the DS range and they sound pretty good. Last edited by SCOOTER; 29-03-2009 at 09:37 PM. |

ds2500's will set you back abouy 250-300 alone. Rotors another 2-300 so maybe a sway bar or 2 and that';ll be the 900-1k spent.

I would do better pads only for the mean time. Braided lines. Sway bars and heavy duty links. Braces in my oppinion arent that big of a deal in sedans. Especially the small aluminium ones.

If you earnt under 100k (gross) in the 07/08 financial year you can get up to $900 tax free from kruddy, someone correct me if im wrong? Not sure on exact amounts for 80k, 90k and 100k.
