Just the rear endlinks, or would you advise the installation of the fronts in addition to rear links?

Good pads, brake fluid and seat time or driving school.

The evo comes from the factory almost perfect for HPDE and Auto-X days. I would suggest getting used to the car as it sits (I would say stock, but that's already too late) and then consider upgrading the pads, fluid and putting in stainless steel brake lines.

Seat time is king, but hard parkers may tell you otherwise.

- Turn the boost down to say 19psi
- get some decent brake fluid, MOTUL RBF 600 or the like
- start your tire pressure at around 25-28 psi cold, then shoot for around 35psi HOT...
- make sure your oil is topped off, along with your coolant... If you experience you engine temps getting high, crank your heater on HIGH...
- after each session drive around the paddock to allow your car and brakes to cool down
- don't worry about your times (if given) it'll only get you into trouble

-Enjoy
