Geo, max out the top mount slots.
brakes cheapest is upgrade the disks to gyro 340mm ones.
shims, fluid, pads, mc, won,t net you squat on track, there is a heat issue and unless you fix that you are just moving the problem around and will get the very same fade Just a lap later at even higher temps which will then kill your calipers Seals and pucks and turn your disks blue
yes pads and fluid will allow more heat but it's a mask not a cure.
so upgrading disk size while fitting, pads, fluid and GT3 ducts is a good start.
MC is personal choice, that just makes the pedal move less ! Which imo makes it harder to threshold brake And harder to heal and toe. people fit it due to the pedal moving too far when the brakes get hot ie to the floor lol , again, a mask over fixing the heat issue ! done by people who think they can cut corners
my other 987 has 996 6 pot GT3 calipers and 350mm disks , still without the GT3 MC as the pedal don't start to get long as my brakes system does not over heat !
For a real track day tool, monoball rear toe links, fully adjustable monoball lca all round, engine mounts and short shift, with some rad cal race calipers. See Mr tippers car, he tried to fix his brakes spent about 1k, failed now doing it right the 2Nd time.
Fit cup 2's and for power fit some new sports manifolds.
if you want to take it more, jrz 2 way sports coilovers, and a lipo battery with some carbon race seats.
my Spyder is that spec bar the shocks and it is amazing fun, like a big Elise
or you can buy a GT4 which makes a far better track day tool and keep the R as a very nice road car only going up in value. It’s great out the box as a road car as is
