FC Setup Help
I want some help on a good N/A setup.Im going turbo in the future but just need some minor upgrades to my N/A for Road Atlanta this summer.Im already buying a new differential.And i just swapped in a fresh N/A motor yesterday with all the block off plates so yes 5th and 6th ports are open all the time, stage 1 clutch from ACT, airbox with the K&N Air Filter and did my custom exhaust.2.5" piping, cat delete, with N1 muffler (single exhaust).Im going to get some Magnecor 10.5mm wires and replace my sparks for the same NGK-R but if any of yall have an opinion just drop one.No turbo comments please.Thanks

What suspension are you running? What tires and brakes?
While you are doing the diff you should upgrade the diff mount bushings, both front and rear. Also consider upgrading the rear subframe mounts.

I have an OBX header on mine. It is fine, and it is stock length so it bolts right up. The RB is a different length so you will have to have exhaust work done to make it work.
Put all fresh fluids in the car, including good brake fluid. Consider getting stainless steel braided brake lines. They will greatly increase the brake feel. Get a good alignment, and prep the car well so you can go out and have fun.
You may want to get more agressive brake pads. My stock pads started to fade on a short technical track. Road Atlanta should give you plenty of time and open air to get the brakes cooled back down, but brake upgrades are always a good idea. For street tires, Hawk HP+ work awesome, and they are only about $135 for the whole car. I was amazed at the difference in bite these pads have.
Don't bother with slotted rotors, they do nothing but empty your wallet.
