you can get toyo r888s in that size very easily.
They are very sticky and you can get a full set for £650 ish fitted.
Try elitedirect.com.
micheldever tyres,
Bracknell tyres and batteries.
they wont last long tho. (4 track days tops)
I've not tried most of these, but consensus seems that the Michellin Pilot Sport Cups are the daddy in terms of grip. Other options are Pirelli Corsa Motorsports, Yokohama AO48s and the Toyos. Pretty much all of them should be stickier than SSRs I think. Chris Harris really liked the Corsas on his GT2, apparently more progressive on the limit than the others.

Get yourself there
found some toyo's £172 each for 285/30/18 ...seems a good price but ive been told they dont last !!!!

Try the R888's you will not be disappointed. As for wear rates, 4 to 5 days maximum on Corsa's cups or R888's before they become illegal. So don't be put off by the cheapskate jibe on buying the Toyo's. They are a bloody good tyre and those that say they aren't have probably never ever tried them - they just go by what others say on websites like this.
