Make sure your battery's tied down, your fluids aren't leaking, your suspension is on tight, your pads have enough meat and your tires have enough tread (for street tires).

My personal checklist:

1. Flush Coolant
2. Flush Brake Fluid, fill up with one of the following 3 brands: Motul RBF600, Castrol SRF, Wilwood EXP 600
3. Oil Change if you haven't done it in awhile (20w50 if running the 13B)
4. At the track, add 1/2 oz per gallon 2-stroke oil if you're still using a rotary engine
5. Flush Clutch Fluid
6. Diff & Tranny Fluid changes if not done in awhile.

Pretty much make sure the car is as fresh as possible.

I would run Hawk HP+ if running a single set of pads and rotors for street and track. Hawk HPS/Porterfield R4-S are the bare minimum.

If running two sets, then use DD pads & rotors to get to the track and swap to Hawk Blues and blanks once you get to the track.
