But if you want it to last the whole even you need good ventilation for the brake .
My EBC yellow stuff over heated at the 2nd section.
And also transmission cooler is highly recommended.

Woohoo! That's great man.

IS3F it was Rwd .

So what's with the choice of stock tire? The Turanzas don't seem to have great grip, are loud on rough pavement, and are expensive. What exactly are they optimized for, I wonder?

For track days?
Pilot Super Sport, Bridgestone S-04 tire are tires that's good for getting you to and on the track.
Dunlop Direzza Star Spec, Yokohama AD08 are some good choices for track days.
