Are you taking the FD or the GTU?

for the FD EBC green will do for your first event or two, Then for later events you will want a dedicated race pad (EBC Yellow, Hawk blue, black, or Porterfield etc)
For Tires it depends on how much you want to $pend - but slicks would be a waste for the first couple events (esp if you don't have spring/shock upgrades) - a good street tire like BFG G-Force KD or Yoko AVS Intermediate will do just fine.

If everyone posted their threads in appropriate topics, then we'd all benefit by getting more views, wouldn't we?
