I wouldn't recommend R compound tires if you aren't fully accustomed to driving the car to it's limits. They have fantastic grip, but the traction limit is a pretty abrupt one, and they don't give you a lot of feedback before they let go.

I think it would be best to go a season or two on some good street tires (the F1 GS-D3s are a great tire), then if you want some more stickiness, make the move up.
