i don't track, but if this is strictly a track car, then the first logical step is put it on a strict diet.

light weight front seats with recaro pp, remove rear seat, swap to light weight forged 18 rims, etc...trim atleast 200-300 pounds off this car and it will be golden.

Oh and don't forget to wear light weight shoes, clothes, no jewelery, and have sex with your wife before you go to unload it. that will save at least 20 lbs off when it come to track day.

With such a basic question leads me to believe you have very little track experience - not a dig, just an observation. I would recommend spending your money in getting some seat time before you start making mods (any mods). Before you start making mods, ask yourself what are trying to get out of the car, is this just going to be an HPDE toy, TT car, ultimately a club racer, etc. Depending on your goals, you can figure out what mods you should make for the track. If this is just for HPDE, then as others have pointed out upgrade your pads and fluid first. Second would be wheels and tires (lighter wheels and a good extreme performance summer tire and eventually a r-comp). After that you could start playing with suspension bits. At the risk of starting a whole other discussion, don't get race seats and harnesses unless you plan on going all the way with rollover protection, my opinion and Good luck with your project
