For the moment, it's got falken azenis RT-615's 275/40/17 all around which I've been really happy with so far. I'll stick with those for now. The car is a handful and there's no reason to go faster until I'm more comfortable in it. It's not nearly as forgiving as the Mustang was.... In fact, I think it goes out of it's way to punish you for mistakes.

Wilwood BP-10 'smart pads' for the moment. They're good up to 1000* F running temp so I should be fine. Lots of brake... not so much car. If they're marginal I'll pick up some J compounds pads which are good to 1300.
