Summer is right around the corner, and that means more time on the track. Whether this is your first event season or if you need a refresher on parts you need to replace, we have what you’re looking for. We’ll break down the essential parts you need to enjoy your day on the track, avoid part failure, and help you trim down your lap time.
Tires
A build is only as good as its tires, especially when you’re putting your car through its paces with fast lap times, autocross maneuvering, or red-hot drag starts. Performance tires are ideal for the track. Models like the Toyo Proxes R88R or Mickey Thompson Sportsman, are great options for a variety of platforms. Investing in 200 treadwear tires are ideal for high-speed use, especially if your summer is going to be track-heavy this year.
Brakes
Fully functioning brakes are a must for the track. Inspect your vehicle’s brakes and ensure that your vehicle is ready for fast changes in speed. If your brake pads are worn down, you need to replace them before tracking your car. Safety and adaptability are crucial for autocross and track racing. Invest in your ride so you can enjoy high-speed racing this season and many more to come. Shop our brake pads, rotors, and kits to give yourself extra driving protection.
High Temp Brake Fluid
Replenishing your brake fluid before a busy track season is essential for driver safety and reliable braking. Not all brake fluid is the same. When you hit the track, your vehicle is going to reach high temps and your brakes are going to feel it the most. Make sure your calipers can consistently clamp down on your rotors for safe, adaptable driving with brake fluid that can take the heat. Shop our selection of high temp brake fluid to ensure your brakes are ready for what you throw at it.
Stainless Steel Brake Lines
Inspect your brake lines and replace them with stainless steel alternatives for optimal performance. Stainless steel brake lines are firmer and more responsive for drivers who need their vehicle performing at its best. They also offer extra durability so you can enjoy high-intensity driving season after season. Shop our brake line kits to find what you need for your setup.
Wheels
You gotta look good on the track, right? And a lightweight set of wheels will help reduce weight, which doesn’t hurt when you’re going down the final stretch.
If you’re interested in drifting, choosing wheels with a negative offset are going to be your best friend. A wider stance means more control when you’re cornering. For autocross enthusiasts, a flush fitment is best. A negative offset can actually hold your vehicle back on those sharp turns with slower steering, especially when you need to accelerate quickly again into the next corner.
Forged and flow form wheels offer superior track performance compared to alloy wheels. Their reduced weight offers more speed while their durability enables a longer wheel life, especially with the stress you’re putting on them on track days.
Shop our selection of wheels to find the best look and fit for your vehicle so you have every advantage going into track season.
