What does everyone here use, for trans oil, engine oil, tires, and also what brake setup do you run?

Engine oil = Mobil 1 w/ K&N oil filter
Trans oil (MTX) = Redline MTL

I haven't had to put tires on the SVT yet, but on the Sport I bought Michelin Pilots. Brakes are OEM on both cars, but I think the Sport will need a new set of pads and shoes soon.

Castrol Syntec 10W-30 with STP oil filter.

Whatever they flushed my tranny with.

I had crappy tires but I love Cooper's and Firestone Firehawks.
