Default Suspension/mounts

So I'm looking to make my 997 turbo a bit more track friendly. What do you guys think about the following?

1) RSS (semi solid?) or GT2/GT3 RS engine mounts?
2) Transmission mounts? Which?
3) H&R springs, RSS toe steer and dog bones
4) Front track width widening by 22mm using rss track control arms plus drive shaft spacers
5) GT2 ride height corner weight and geo
6) Front and rear H&R or OEM GT2/GT3 RS anti roll bars?
7) Michelin Pilot Super Sport

Not a huge fan of two things

1) springs without matched dampers. On a track with bumps, camber changes and elevation changes this is not ideal

2) pss are not good tires for the track. They heat up and lose grip, chunk, and wear way too fast on the track. Get something like rs3, ad08 or re11

^Bluecrab is right on (IMO) on the Michelin PSS...good for a few laps and then start sliding...
