I tracked the OEMs and it doesn't hold up so well, even with some decent Michellin Sports (OEMs)
it's not meant to but it's wayyy cheaper than getting dedicated rubber that you can only use on the track.

Going FI will only make the problem with traction worse. You can induce oversteer but it's a lot easier to do than you think with same size tires on all 4 corners. It's all about technique and it take practice, practice, practice. Seat time will make you think twice about going FI or other modifications.

I'll be willing to bet that you don't need dimpled/slotted rotor or SS lines and I don't know what kind of pad compound endless is so I can't comment there, and ven motul brake fluid. 2 common things that causes brake fade. 1. over use/wrong use of the brake. 2. not enough cooling. If you spent about $100-200 on proper cooling ducts, and another $150 on proper track brake pads, I'll be willing to bet that will fix some of your brake fade problem. The first one is a problem with the driver that can only be fixed with someone more experienced helping you in the car.

but you basically don't know what ISO certification is about right? I have 5 years exeperience as an ISO internal auditor and I helped create the ISO internal documentations for a company and helped that company pass the audit. ISO again has nothing to do with qc/qa. It's simpley documenting your procedures, following it and be able to prove that you do what you say you do in the written procedures. so just because a company is ISO certified it has no bearing on if they produce a "quality product."


here is my recommendations if you want to hear it.

instead of trying fix what you believe to be are "problems with the car" educated yourself as a driver instead. spend that money on two or 4 or 6 HPDE (high performance driver education) and you'll start to see where you are falling short. get the advice of those who are far greater driver than you and follow it.

unless this really is just for "show" then you can disregard everything I said above.
