I can sympathize with the feelings. I just read the Checklist and FYI thread and my adrenaline is pumping in my office chair! This'll be my first event with either of my rides, so my anticipation is out the ROOF! But I do want to ask and make sure of a couple things with my vehicle:
1) The brakes have never been messed with on my 04 RX-8, and it has 66k miles. Should I get them swapped out for this? And if so, recommendations and prices?
2) My suspension is getting soft due to horrible roads and nasty speed bumps. Can I solve this by letting the dealership handle it? Or would it be better to learn how to do it myself for this?
3) Any other advice for someone who's never done this before? I've been driving for about a year now in my RX-8, and I'm still learning all the ropes to mastering my vehicle. Any advice is good advice to me!
