Transition to DOT R compound issues?

Smile Transition to DOT R compound issues?

For my next set of tires for my track rims (18x10 Forgestar F14s) I was thinking of going to a stickier compound, track only tire. Should I be concerned about over stressing my OEM sport calipers or is there anything else to be worried about? Additional front nose dive under braking and possible scraping of my stillen front end (I know Mike had issues with that)? I already use the XP10/8 split for pads and have titanium backing plates up front to limit heat transfer as well as the front ducting.

Current suspension setup is Nismo springs/shocks. Front Eibach ARB and rear Whiteline ARB. SPL endinks all around, SPL FUCAs, SPL rear toe arms.

Thanks
