GrimSpeed MC Brace
ATE SuperBlue (switching to Motul RBF600)
Suspension/Steering/Tires
Perrin Solid Steering Rack Mounts
Bridgestone RE-11A Tires (215/45/17)
Enkei RPF1 Wheels
At this point, I'm not sure where I want to go next. Things in mind are brake ducting/cooling, oil cooler, and RSR Coilovers. I'd really like an oil cooler, but nervous about warranty issues should I run into a problem. I know there are a million swaybars and braces available, but I haven't seen any hard convincing data that they are worth my time. The RSR Coilovers seemed promising and designed exactly for what I'm interested in. I haven't seen any brake fade yet at tracks like Autobahn or Road America, but as I learn to drive harder/faster...I'd like to be on top of the brake setup and head off any potential issues.
I'm very particular about the parts I put on the car and try not to hurt the balance or put on unnecessary braces, sways, etc. Willing to discuss this if there is good information out there from more experienced folks.
What do you guys think?

I wouldn't worry about the SS brake lines. Also I would definitely use a separate set of pads/rotors and better pads (Raybestos ST43 or ST42 pads and Centric Premium blank rotors are good options) and add some sort of brake ducting.
Also what size of RPF1 are you planning to get? 17x9 +35mm is way to go since in future you may fit wider tires on to them
