My currently mods are listed in my signature. I'm going to VIR with the local BMW CCA next month and have a budget of approx $2K to further mod the car before then. I'm really thinking one of two possible scenarios:

1) Wagner Evo2 Competition FMIC and ER chargepipes along with upgraded stainless steel brake lines and Hawk Street/Track pads. My M Sport doesn't have the M Sport brakes unfortunately but the 1 piston front and rear gray brake calipers. I've had the car on the track one time when it was bone stock and the brakes really underwhelmed me. Would a change in pads and lines help considerably. Also, with my tune, I'd like the FMIC and chargepipes to maintain boost and ensure maximum efficiency and safety.

2) M Performance Brake Kit (4 piston front/2 piston rear with larger rotors all around). This is my eventual goal but I can't stomach doing both of these before next month for $4000.

What would you choose if you could ONLY choose one for the money?

I'm not a race car driver and only go to these HPDE to test my cars limits safely. I'm not out to beat Andretti around the corner.

Okay Mike, we were PM'ing about this a few weeks ago and I'm about ready to pull the trigger.

For track duty, your most bang for the buck at this point is going to be the following:

1. Hotter brake pads
2. Quality brake fluid

You've only had the car on the track 1 time and the brakes came up short. You don't need more power at this point in your track experience.
