[QUOTE="Gray Ghost GT, post: 9973067, member: 108918"] Since you have MM CC plates, I recommend getting a good alignment with approx. -1.7 camber in the front and its still streetable. You'll see a significant improvement in turn in. Hawk HP Plus pads are not very good for the road course - you'll burn right through them as a beginner because most newbies tend to use their brakes way too much and with a heavy car...... I recommend getting a set of Hawk DTC 60s or Carbotech XP10s. Many will disagree with me because of the expense since I know they're a lot more money, but stopping is a good thing. Since you're going to be hard on the brakes, you should flush the brake fluid with new Ford DOT 4 or something like [URL="http://www.ogracing.com/catalog/2-Car/34-Oils-Lubricants/item-12-ATE-SUPER-BLUE-BRAKE-FLUID"]ATE Super Gold[/URL] so you don't boil the fluid and get a soft brake pedal. Check your tire pressures before and after the session. Purchase a good [URL="http://www.ogracing.com/catalog/4-Garage/44-Tire-Maintenance/item-270-LONGACRE-DELUXE-TIRE-GAUGE"]tire pressure gauge[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
