Nobody ever said that you do. People should not be ridiculed for not tracking their car, racing your car on a track takes balls, and lots of money, and it’s not for everyone. The problem is when people want to mimic those that track their cars, without ever attending a trackday. Having your car handle and behave on the street like a high end car does NOT require race parts at all. A set of Silkroads or the basic Stances both set on full soft are great for the street. They’ll give you the handling you want and good street manners as well. On the other hand getting the 3-way, external reservoir Stances, or something ridiculous like Motons or Ohlins, for a car that will never see track duty, well… you need to be bitch-slapped for that.
Want good braking? Get 180SX brakes, or if you want the “look” get Z brakes, with HPS pads, and you’ll have a great street combo. But Stoptechs all around, with HP+ or better for the street? HP+ take some time to get into their heat range, they’re actually BAD for the street, because that first time you need them, before they get warmed up, they won’t stop very well at all.
I could go on and on, honestly… People DON’T want performance, they want STATUS, that’s all they give a shit about. If they wanted performance, you’d see them out on the track, working on improving their line and getting more seat time in.
