I've only been on the second page.

2. id go with SS lines and Hawk pads ( ceramics)
3. stock.rotors are good...but a nice set of inexpensive but good slotted rotors are always betterat heat disapation.
***4. If your tracking the car....i'd remove the coolant and add 80% distilled water and 20% water Wetter or its equivalent. a remote fan switch might be helpful here as well.

the BS RE050......but i'm not clear if your running the sport package. I'd think Nitto 555's would do an excellent job.
My RE50's on my GTO wouldn't hook for shnitz....though drag radials isn't the answer here....

people don't seem to know coolant/antifreeze is for cold weather and anti corrosion.....you need only 2 bottle of water wetter for it anticorrisive properties . Water , by nature removes more heat per gram than any coolant.
In Street "encounters" since they never last long.....none of these issues pop up.
but i'm betting a good sythetic oil and better coolant mixtures could stave off your oil heatup issue.
+ a fulyy broke in motor.
did you use the rev match..or turn it off....and how was it at constant redlines.

You broke it in right.. the oil temp thing is somehting i think type and the engine being green has something to do with.

jm race opinion.
