Evening all... I recently bought an 07 2l sport with just under 100k on the clock with the aim of using it for track days. My overall aim is to have a track biased but road legal car so I've had a roll bar put in, fluids have been changed and organic stage 2 clutch installed. The set up is for fast road/track driving. So far so good - done a couple of track days and all well and so now thinking what else I would like to get done over the winter. Car rolls too much so new suspension and lowering is a must. Could do with a bit more oomph, better brake feel - after about 7-10 laps the brakes are going off a bit. Also, seats, harnesses, tyres...

Can you give me your thoughts? I've heard good things about BBR and also Meister. What would you all do? Forget how much it might cost for a moment - I'll factor that in later, but I'd really like to hear what your ideal world recommendations would be plus pitfalls to avoid.

Thanks

Thank you. I was thinking about seats/harnesses too - standard seats and belts seem to have me propping myself against the transmission tunnel. My roll bar has a harness bar but I do want to remain road legal so I can drive to and from circuits. Anyone got any views on the BBR 200 upgrade? I prefer the idea of keeping things naturally aspirated.
