Here’s the deal (which you’ve probably heard before). A good roll bar is safer than a harness bar. And conversely a harness bar is less safe than a good roll bar because a roll bar provides additional protection in the event of an incident in which the car rolls. My head and neck are worth the...

Anyone here have a Dashbuilt roll bar? I’m considering buying one. Would love to hear your thoughts/experience. Cheers, Mike

That’s consistent with what I have heard since the founders came from Carbotech. Very helpful customer service.

So, you’re also managing a bit more weight… 😜 Just ordered some G-Loc track pads. They will make the size/shape I need. 😁

That doesn’t look good! Which car were you driving? Which track? Any tc on?

Unfortunately, as you noted previously, track pads for the FE calipers are relatively nonexistent. 🤬

Yes, unfortunately Conti ECF does not come in the sizes needed for the rears. Also considered the RE71RS. I think the Yoko is a better tire for where I am with this car and how I anticipate using it. My goal is to improve track enjoyment and avoid making the car unpleasant on the street. It’s...

I found EBC Blue pads in the size/shape for the FE calipers. Not a full track pad, but again, probably a good starting point and as a plus they can be left in for street use if I get lazy. I have no experience with EBC. Anyone have experience with them?

The process has begun. Sourced some TE37SL 19x9.5 / 19x10.5 Probably will try the Yoko AD09 in 265/35/19 and 285/35/19. Not the fastest 200TW but good communication, decent wet traction, and reasonable longevity. I think it’s the better tire for an experienced driver learning this car.

My 2026 FE came from the dealer with GR branded [p]leather looking covers for them.

Thank you for the info. The more you know… I wasn’t planning on upgrading brakes, but we’ll see…

Informative. Thank you. Odd shaped front pads. My track experience has been Porsches and Miatas. I don’t recall ever seeing a front pad that shape.

Thanks for your input. I've found many of your posts helpful and informative. I was wondering about availability of good track brake pads. Planning to touch base with PFC, Hawk, and GLoc to see if they make a pad in the size/shape. I run SRF in my NC, so it's easier to not add another brake...

Trying to defer a suspension upgrade for a bit. Although I'm mindful how much a good suspension improves the driving experience.

Fixed it!😁

Lots of good info. Thank you! I have very little experience with Supras on track, but have over 20 years experience with HPDE and amateur racing (Spec Miata, Spec Boxster, WRL, etc.). I instruct/coach with most clubs. My favorite track group presently is Chin. But many groups host excellent...

Pics from my left front.

Paul I live in the land of the SUV where road surfaces and driver skills are typically quite poor. An SUV is kind of a necessity. 😜

WOW!!! Beautiful!!! After reading your list and your build post I have many questions and a few suggestions. I run the same Hawks on my MX-5. I’ve preferred PFC pads, but they don’t make pads for the stock NC calipers. Which upgrades would you prioritize? I’m in Texas most of the year...

Hello fellow Supra enthusiasts. I recently got a 26 Supra MT FE and am working on plans for track-friendly upgrades. I want to start with upgrades which do not significantly diminish the enjoyment of the car on the street. The Supra platform is new to me and I am looking forward to learning...
