I'm also running PFC08 pads on the track (M-sport brakes) and they are so much better than the RedStuff pads I run on the street. I also have coilovers (KW Clubsport), SS lines, aFe sway bars, F80 LCAs, monoball thrust arms, Delrin rear subframe bushings, rear trailing arms and MP LSD. I'm also corner balanced with 2.5 degrees of camber up front. I'm FBO stage 2 and have no problems getting point bys by 911's. I'm pretty far in now but get some seat time, focus on your line, brake points, the flags and flag stations and learn the limits of your driving and car. If you're anything like me you'll have more car than skill for a while but when set up correctly the F30 surprises a lot of people and you'll have a blast with it. Good luck out there.

Curious - did you do F8 LCAs instead of also doing monoball there bc of camber or cost or? I'd like to get to -2 deg up front for street and occasional track but don't love the idea of camber plates on a DD w/ a car seat |
