Hello forum, I own a GT86 EU (Spain) with the stock brakes (not the Brembos) and I'm starting to track my car quite often (the plan is 6 trackday events avg per year). The only mods that I have fitted in my car is: Blitz oil cooler SS brake lines and Motul RBF 600 Ferodo DS2500 pads OZ Ultraleggera 17 inch, ET 35 and 7.5 of width I have no plans to add more power to the engine, I'm ok on how the car in terms of power is, I'm only looking for reliability and trackday "tolerance". After 3 trackdays my OEM rotors are bent (I be careful with them but shit happens) and before changing the rotors I started to look to what GT/BRZ folks do outside Spain (this car is not so popular in spain so is quite hard to find information) and I saw that a common thing is to evaluate Reyland AP Racing kit as a good option for this platform to avoid a lot of headache. Also I read a lot about the Essex kit for our car but all the replacement parts need to be ordered to US because Essex have those references only for them so make them a not very good choice for me in terms of taxes because of customs and shipping. So I have a few doubts and I'm looking for some advise: Reyland kit, good for my usage? Reyland replacement parts (rotors), are "special" like Essex or I will be able to find the rotors on any AP Racing dealer? Do you think / know if Reyland kit will fit on my OZ Ultraleggera 17 x 7.5 ET35? Any order advise in terms of my use case? Many thanks in advance, Greetings from Spain.

@Adi those stoptech look really nice, how good are in terms of wheel fit? I want to fit them on a 17 7.5 et35 ultraleggera Thanks

@Churchlet me check those coilovers @Laurendo you have any clue on the % of brake bias changed (and if is front/rear) of the Reyland kit? What I saw is that this kit is the same for the Impreza and our car and those cars have as far as I know different bias. Thanks !

Hello everyone! @spikyone thanks for the tip. I wrote them an email asking for a quote including shipping to Spain and they answer really fast, not used to that speed here in Spain @Church good tips and ideas, I'm going to take a look to those option and search where I can find them. @Daninplymouth I already own a fantastic oil cooler (Blitz) and BTW my issue is that the oil during the trackday don't move from the 90 /95 degrees (Celsius) mark. @will300 I'm going to take a look to those coilovers In general for everyone I used to race with RC cars and what I learned is that going for top parts allow me to don't spend the money twice, I follow that mental process here with big cars but yes is true that the difference is so big. My car is only driven to and back of the track and twice a year I go to Benidorm (quite famous spanish place for UK as far as I know ) so I'm ok not having a super comfortable ride, with some limits of course. Again, thanks for all your help.

Hello all, What a really interesting conversation happening here, I'm learning a lot!!! I just want to give some update on my crazy plan, let me give you some context before: Because of legal reasons in spain, I CAN validate to be road legal a few parts and I want to do it only once, that's why I'm thinking to go for the crazy thing of building all the stuff for a good and capable trackday car and enjoy with no so much issues. After reading all your comments I'm planing to go for this: Reyland brakes KW Clubsport 2 way coilovers Adjustable control arms (don't know very well the name) for the rear to be able to adjust the camber of the rear I'm expecting that if I go for that I have a capable car, with plenty of room for learn how to drive fast with reliability and not so much maintenance. Is a huge amount of money to burn on one shot, but probably is a better choice to do all in one attempt to be able to save some money and validate my car for road legal only once. How this approach sounds?

Hello, thanks for answering. Really interesting clarification about the rotors and your use case. Hello, What a detailed answer with tons of info that will be fantastic for me, thank you so much!!! Let me answer you Tires -> federal rsr 595 pro Suspension -> stock One thing that you mention is something key for me that I didn't know why is happening to me at trackdays (front outer side get's really worn so fast). I need now to understand what are all those bits to order them and ask to fit them. GClock is something that I saw and I didn't know if it was a good idea or not but I'm not super happy with how "planted" I feel on the stock seats when I drive hard at the track so I will take a look to that. Helmet and gloves are ok I already have an OMP helmet and Sparco gloves. Thank you again

Hello Lauren, one of the people that I was willing to have an answer is you, I saw a lot of post of you about brakes so I'm happy that I was able to catch your attention Do you know anyone that uses this kit for trackdays (you?)? I would like to know if they will be good for "track abuse" always at stock power level, of course. Also, do you know how they compare to the Brembos or the Essex kit? And last question, what shape make sense for me? Disc surface options: straight grooves, J hook gooves, curved grooves. Thanks again,

Hello Andy!! Thank you so much for all that super nice information I would like to go to the 24 pin connection that seems that could be the easier for a car audio installer to work with. I didn't catch so well the comment regarding the 28 pin connector and 12v. Connecting a camera to that 24 pin is not all the stuff needed to enable the rear camera? Thank you!

Hello Andy, your post is very helpful I own a 2017 gt86 from spain and I ask to a car audio dealer in spain and they say that there is imposible to put a reverse camera on the TA400 radio because they need 16-pin... they don't want to work so much I'm looking for installing one and I see that the Yaris that have reverse camera have also TA400 radio but I don't find on toyota AIM the manual to install the camera. I also see several cables that seems that make the trick connection the cam on the 24 pin and other one on the 28 pin connector. Do you have any update on your findings? Thanks for your help.
