What is your opinion on best track mod for the money? I haven’t done many mods but for $80 I thought the 2 point steeda g track brace was definitely worth the money. More responsive steering feel and car did not push as much in hard corners. I think a track alignment would be another great bang for the buck mod. Opinions?

Front camber bolts for $30. You asked cost effective....
Very cost effective. I think I got as much camber (-2.5) out of the bolts as I would have out of camber plates.

The car is good out of the box. One of the few cars that is track ready with just a good alignment. Car has more capability than 99% of people can make use of. That includes me. Spend the rest of your money on making the driver better.

Thanks. I do have the camber bolts. I’m going to get a track alignment. Any recommendations from experience on camber settings?. I have the recommended settings and these are probably good middle of the road settings. I’m not looking for super aggressive that may cause excessive wear on the street. I only do about 3 track days a year. Do you notice irnormal wear on the tires from street driving from the track alignment?

Align to -1.5 front & little less in the rear for launch grip & you'll be fine on the streets.

Beyond proper front camber, BMR CB005 to keep the subframe from moving around like crazy under power. It is very noticeable on corner exit. Almost no NVH; sharp bumps are just a little louder but no harsher.

I ran the Ford Performance recommended alignment settings and they are an improvement on track over factory alignment. Even the FP alignment will wear the outsides of your tires, but night/day improvement. Alignment is a powerful thing.

Since I hardly drive mine on the street (~3-4k/year), I run -3 front/-2 rear now and haven't noticed abnormal wear. To be concise, track driving is wearing the outsides of the tires so badly that the insides are barely touched. Just pay attention to tire wear and you'll be fine.

Same here! After all it is a heavy car and you can only adjust camber so much before it starts negatively impacting steering. Nobody will be able to save the outer if tracking the car.

I added a IRS brace. I think it increased NVH...
