I will be attending my first track event with the s2000. I know the usual maintenance stuff (oil, fluids, etc...). My main concern is the brake pads and rotors. I am definitely buying new pads. I don't know if the stock rotors will hold up or not. My car has about 23k miles and still on oem rotors. It will be first track event so I am wondering if they will hold up or not. Any advice is appreciated. Also, have I missed anything?

 

Get new pads. the stock ones won't hold up to heavy braking zones for too long, change out the fluid while you're at it.

you also should check with the even coordinator to verify that stock rollover protection will be acceptable. Most tracks now require a 4 point roll bar.

The coordinator will let me drive my S2000 as long as I am on street tires (still on S0's so i will be fine.) YOu guys think I should replace my rotors or not?

 

I wouldn't worry about the rotors as long as they're not warped or cracked, just some nice Cobalt Friction GT-Sport pads, and some ATE superblue fluid. Change the rotors AFTER The track day if you want, b/c they're gonna get beat on at the track pretty hard.
