Tough to beat a budget friendly, lightweight RWD platform. In the past we had a great 2015 Subaru BRZ that we used as a track car with wonderful results. Recently I purchased a new 2025 BRZ tS to be used in a similar fashion. I specifically wanted the BRZ tS as it comes equipped with Factory Brembo Brakes and I like the blue contrast stitching on the inside. After about 1k street miles it is time to prep it for its first track outing. This is going to be a long term, slow progression project. It could also be considered a budget friendly project as the plan is to only change or add parts as they become necessary for on track enjoyment (without sacrificing street comfortability).Â
Here is our initial list of minimal updates to prepare for it's first track day:
- 18x8" OZ Hyper GT Wheels
- 225/40/18 Bridgestone RE71rs TiresÂ
- Pedders Front Shock Top Hats
- SPC Rear Lower Control Arms
- Ferodo DS1.11 Front Pads
- Ferodo DS2500 Rear Brake Pads
- Castrol SRF Brake Fluid
- Redline MTL Transmission Fluid
- Redline 75W85 Differential Fluid
- Mobil1 0w40 Engine Oil
- Alignment
Up first will be Daytona Intl Speedway. Solid place to have the cars first track outing.
