rotor block off plates
car lightened to 2,450
caliper piston seal replaced every time rotors are changed
no caliper dust seal
master cylinder catch tank
braided brake lines
bleed brakes before every event
hose off brake/rotor dust after every event

I think that's everything!

Front pads and rotors last about 700 track miles, rear about twice that.

Those are all the same things I do as well. My car is coming in at about 2600#. No cross drilled rotors, and I use ATE fluid. Some day I'll get around to upgrading but for now I'm having so much damn fun I feel like I don't need to worry about it. As long as I'm embarrassing the big motor cars I feel like I have done my car proud.
