What a picture!! Whoever took that is a high level PRO. Kudos to you in using it on the track.
Can you tell us a little about the setup? I see some dive planes. Red on this car is fire.
Absolutely. The car is primarily a track toy...most of the miles are driving to and from the track, on track, and the occasional hangout.
Here's my setup so far regarding performance-related mods:
Girodisc rotors
Ferodo DS3.12 brake pads front and rear
Endless RF-650 brake fluid
Alekshop SS brake lines with carbon shielding
Tarrett rear toe links
Elephant Racing front caster adjusters
Manthey lower intake grilles
GT4 RS Clubsport dive planes
DB Carbon wind diffusers
Ride height is lower than stock by maybe ~6mm or so
Camber set to -2.8 front/-2.5 rear
Weight: 3195 lbs w/ full tank
Tires: Yokohama ADVAN AD09.
The jury is still out on the tires. I only have one day at Laguna Seca on them so far. They seem pretty slippery and I really didn't like them in the first couple of sessions in comparison to the OEM Dunlops, but they got better throughout the day. The track could have been extra greasy from the rain and snow the day before, so I'll need a few more track days on these before I can recommend them. They are a decent street tire, but not sure they're great for the track...yet. I quite like the OEM Dunlops, I'm just not sure they're worth the high cost. Giving the AD09 a shot as I've heard they last a long time and are pretty consistent throughout an entire 20–25 min session.
@168glhs1986 , is that your car in the PCA video at TPC? Looks so good!!

Yes that's my car thank you. I need to retire my M2 CS trcak car and put my 4RS on the track. I know I'm missing out big time.
Thanks for your setup info. Like Mike said, just a couple tweaks needed to make it a real track performer. You will find a tire you like. The Goodyear Eagle F1 3R is what my M2 likes.

how and where did you get a set of GT4 RS Clubsport dive planes ?
Some shots from yesterday’s drive. Wheels are BC Forged ACL51 for track. Very happy with them and their satin obsidian blue is almost a perfect match to the factory blue.
