As a beginner HPDE driver, these minimal brake system mods are holding up OK, and in 110-120 degree whether to boot. Fluid change to Motul, brakepads to StopTech Street Performance, and tires to Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I asked my shop about the brake cooling duct kit and he said it was overkill. I don't ever intend on running R compounds so I think this will be fine for a while, though I can see a case where getting an even more track worthy pad will be needed.

Will be putting in a 25 row oil cooler (that you will need), and then debate the suspension tweak vs mod. Trying to strike that balance between track worthy and street worthy, with minimal effort.
