Somewhat New to AutoX Mods?
So I ran my LT twice last summer at 2 different tracks and now I'm addicted. Looking to improve braking mostly.
What pads are good for the LT and are different rotors necessary? Not proud to say it, but I'm running dropzone springs. I have a SS S/C front sway bar, Moog endlinks, and the hardcore rear bar. I love the slight oversteer, thus not making handling too much of an issue. It's an automatic and have the B&M Shift+ for fast shifts.
What do you have for suggestions to make my lap times faster besides driver mod? Keep in mind I'm on a tight budget so coilovers are out of the question.

Lots of options for performance pads like hawk or ebc, slotted rotors help with brake heat and stainless steel lines give a nice frim pedal feel. Tires are probably the most important part for racing, gotta have good rubber and light wieght wheels dont hurt. And if you want performance over looks for the suspension get some tc struts and yyz springsfrom powell
What my sig says, everything...
But really the biggest upgrade will be a set of wheels (18x8 PF01's I have) and if you're serious about it you can even look at the autocross slicks

There are some left from 09 (that won't be as good as new) that would still be a great option and cheap. I'd like to add that I do have the Powell twistbeam bushings, I just haven't updated my sig.

late bump, i know.
I ran NAPA Ultra premium rotors and hawk hps pads. id highly suggest going to steel brake lines, and a good fluid. I run ATE Type 200 or Superblue
id also say, dont go slicks yet. do a year on street tires, and if you feel you really like it, then maybe consider autox slicks. otherwise you can start to spend a lot of money in a hurry.
