Just curious as to how many who own a Journey coupe have tracked their car.

Should be fine if you upgrade the brakes. I doubt the stock journey ones will last long.

Meh, even the stock Akebono's aren't great for the track but they are a marginal upgrade. You'll need better pads, rotors and lines regardless so just keep your OEM calipers and upgrade the rest. Then yes, oil, trans and power steering cooler and you should be good to go. Maybe some drop in K&N filters.

Brake fluid, first and foremost. Everything else can be added on as you go, if you want them/need them.


But brake fluid upgrades for sure!

Ahh yes, I mentioned everything BUT the most important part lol.. Brake fluid for sure. If it boils JUST ONCE, you have to flush the entire system.

Depends on how often you'll track the car. You can get some top of the line stuff but then you'll need to flush it every race or so, at the very least annually. A good mix of street/race would be Motul RBF600 or ATE Blue.

Right on but, if you're after what mods to get, this thread is going to get very long lol. At a minimum I would get, brake pads, lines, slotted rotors, dot5+/race brake fluid, trans/oil/PS coolers, sway bars and tires.
