If you're a newb, just stay stock. It's more car than any newb will need.

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

Good answers above except tire pressure. 35psi hot is on the very low side for a street tire. For a newbie, I'd target about 42psi hot to preserve your sidewall. You'll get more grip below 40, but you'll pay for it.
Just keep in mind...as you push more, the temp with climb more...along with the heat of the day. Check them after every session and you'll likely be bleeding all day.

I still run the ATE Typ200 with no problems. I melt pads before I boil fluid!

If you are running the Gran Prix course in Turkey I'm very, very, very jealous. Beautiful course.
