Track setup questions!

Just about ready to finish up my LS swapped FD build, it's a basic bolt on car with small cam. Just looking to see if some of the guys that track their cars can give me some input, I'm a 4 cylinder honda guy so all this is new to me!

1. Stock brakes! I rebuild mine and am running stoptech rotors with DTC-60s. I have a duct setup I will be putting on it as well. Question is how well do they hold up and fade quickly?

2. Oil cooler. I rushed to finish the car and didn't throw a cooler setup on it, I've heard some guys having issues on longer runs, I figured I might be safe to go test the car then get into coolers later. But if I know I'm going to have major issues I would like to throw a setup on now while the car isn't fully assembled.

Thanks guys! Look forward to being part of this community!

Brakes should be ok to start with.

You will need an oil cooler and you will want to monitor oil temp.

Thanks! I will most likely be purchasing a oil cooler setup soon then, and yes I have an aftermarket gauge setup for the oil pressure and temp.

It sounds like the concept for your car is much like mine: a trackable street car. I'm wondering where you're setting (or planning to set) your camber. I've been tracking a FWD hatchback for years, but there's not much from that experience I can carry over to this world.
