No choice on tires yet, there are frequent enough updates that I don't expect to pick a tire until later. It looks like 17x9 is the wheel size of choice, probably RPF1s.
On brake pads, is everyone using the same compound front and rear? Anything to be avoided? Currently I don't expect to do an upgrade beyond pads/hoses/fluid.

Follow the K.I.S.S. method. Lots of people like to throw money at everything thinking it's better. Doesn't necessarily mean it's right.
Look at the FRS cars that all have won nationals, going back to when they were first introduced into STX - you'll see none of them were ever full-tilt prep. To this date - only one even had an OSG (Lugod).
The only bushings you should prioritize is the whiteline insert bushings for the subframe. Every other one, can wait...IMO. This is the only bushing set I've done.
I run DS2500s F/R. I think they're the best overall pad you can get. Many options to choose. I don't think splitting pad compounds is the best idea.
