I've been in the nurburgring for a few times too. Brakes upgrade is a must, mine were completly useless after 1 lap (345 mm 4 pot stock brakes with stock pads). I think a brembo gt kit+ toyo R888 (or any other semislick) tires can easily give half a minute of difference

After :
- 7000km
- 12 lap
- 170km on Lurcy track
My return of experience is that the Yellow stuff EBC are quite better than stock brake pads. More aggressive and more endurance, but you need to change brake fluid? I have Motul RBF 600 and on the ring it was not enought.
