I only want to do whats necessary to get started and make more decisions as I get more experience driving the car.

I think this is my shortlist of things I need:
- GT Radial SX2 tires (on stock rims)
- Brake pads (open to suggestions)
- Stark Automatic Trans cooler + thermostat (worried about overcooling during daily driving)
- Oil Cooler (Greddy vs. Jackson racing radiator/oil cooler two-in-one, or open to suggestions)

I'm open to suggestions regarding all the above options. I just want to maintain proper cooling, get decent beginner tires, and brake pads that can hold up to track days.

I do not plan to autocross. Thanks!
