    Cool Brakes, Camber plates, Tires for the track?

    Trying to make the best upgrades for the track. Some may think I'm crazy to track my E38 but it's a blast and I can cruise in style. Most people are surprised how fast the car is around the track. One guy said I was driving a living room, he loved it!

    So here's where I am at,

    Dinan stage 2 engine and transmission software with cold air intake and Romulus exhaust.
    Dinan cross drilled rotors with Hawk HPS pads
    20" wheels with Nitto Envo tires.
    Sport seat with a four point harness.
    Urethane bushings up front
    ECS and SLS suspension, pretty happy with it.

    Here's what I want to do next,

    Camber plates, the outside of the tires show more wear. Kmac stage one is what I am thinking?
    Better brakes, the brakes start to fade after the third lap on the track. 750 fronts, I think the rotors are bigger as well as the two piston caliper. Not sure if I need the mounting brackets as well?
    Bigger MAF housing and throttle body with a new tune.
    I have the 3.15 Diff. that needs to be installed.
    Continental Extreme sport tires.

    Anyone have parts to offer up I'd rather send money to a member.

    Attachment 620366 Here's one from the SCCA track nights in America at the Ridge motorsports park in Shelton WA. I have seen several others but as you can see they are not impressive. I'm heading out to sea for a few months and can't wait to return in the spring with full pockets and lots of great track days!

    Love to see more pics and videos tracking, I wouldnt think to track an E38. Why did you go with 20's to track, they seem awfully heavy.
