Tires for sure, definitely get camber plates or you'll be replacing them all the time. Once you gain some baseline pace, I highly advise looking at track pads. I went through a stock pad in one day at Laguna Seca.

- Anything unexpected break on the car after track use?
Some suspension parts aren't too happy with frequent hard driving. My tie rod boots are pretty shot for example. It's just part of the cost of driving track, so I wouldn't say it's unexpected.

- Bonus: Are you happy or disappointed with the fun you have tracking this car? (why?)
This is a really good car if you want a single car that can hang on the track and still fit a family with luggage. However, it's still nearly 4,000 lbs. It's great for what it is, but it's important to keep expectations realistic.
Thank you for sharing. The brake pads you mentioned, were they front or rear (like the others)?

How many miles did you get out of the rod boots?

I will report back after this weekend after my outing with the G87.

Cheers,

Lutfy
