Was all about tire wear for me, but better turn in seems intuitive looking at wear across the whole tire versus just the edge. Just a thought, no proof.
Belts - Yup, those are the ones I'm using. Not certified for the F87 BTW, but clips right in. And out. Nice.
Brakes - Brakes were STRONG all weekend. Bet you could easily engage ABS on the stock Michelins if you wanted to do that, but wasn't an issue I had to manage or even consider. The big discs provide a pretty impressive moment arm for torque, and I'm thinking pad choice will be less critical than my E36, where I needed all the torque I could get. This car stops well. Stock fluid and lines BTW. No issues

I've done 2 events without camber plates, turn in was awesome (unlike BMM M cars of old) on stock alignment. I don't appear to have excess tire wear on the shoulder either. I just ordered plates but not really sure if this car needs them since it doesn't understeer on the factory alignment.
I have DTC60's and 70's to test, will start with 60's first and I'm running RBF600 fluid.
Also got the Quick Fit Pro coming, so I can use my H&N restraint.
