Awesome! Congrats and welcome.

I also came from a BMW. 2017 M2. This car is a nice performance upgrade.

Already a lot of good info here. Here are my few cents:

- Keep the suspension stock for now. The mag dampers and the factory setup is very good.
- SC3s are just a little below Cup2 level of grip in my experience
- I have not tried factory pads, but I'd be skeptical. If you have lots of track experience, and develop consistently high speeds and like to brake LATE, I would upgrade. I used PFC08 on my M2 with great success, and this season I stuck a set of Hawk DCT60s in it in June, and just took them out 2 weeks ago. Decent performance on track, and they were quiet enough on the street to keep in. Consensus is they are hard on cold rotors, but if you don't daily much, not a concern.
- Castrol SRF all the way. On track it feels no different than RBF600, but it's wet boiling point is way higher. You can bleed your brakes once a year or 2. That's what I did on the M2, and I was running sub 8 min laps on the 'Ring.
