This would be an awesome way to get rid of my current street tires! Then I can have new stuff for summer. I'll look forward to it! Thanks for the heads-up!

Well, I guess that this means i need to get those big front brakes. There's no way that i can go on track with my current stock ones! Anyone got an extra $750 laying around??

Yes you can. If it's a driver's school you wont (or shouldnt) be running at *****-out walls-out race pace. It's a day for practicing technique and smoothness: You'll have plenty of brake so long as your brakes and hoses are in decent shape. Just be sure to flush out the lines with brand new brake fluid before going.

Well, the stockers would be good if they were in tip top shape, you're absolutly right there. Problem is, they pull to the left significantly, proportionaly to how hard the pedal is pressed. Basically, anything above granny brakeing and I have to countersteer. I know that they could be fixed, I just don't see spending money and time on the stock calipers. I should be able to get the 98+ brakes orederd in the next couple weeks, plus 2 week turn around equals I might just be able to pull it off.

I would love to do this, I am planning on setting my car up for better handling than 1/4 mile. I have got to figure out the knock that I have first.
