What are you doing with them? There's all sorts of options depending on what the car is going to be involved in.

definately read the sticky first. Sounds like you could get by with just better brake pads and fresh dot 4. By track events do you mean hpde/time trials, or autox? I have had great results with stoptech street pads for daily driving and frequent autox use. For Hpde I would probably consider something more track specific.

Street - Axxis ULT, GranSport GS5 or GS6, DS2500s, EBC Red or Yellow...etc.

Track - EBC Yellow or Blue, have a dozen other track pads.

He daily drives the car...have you considered that? The guy isn't out there chasing down track records to be thinking about upgraded brake systems!

OP needs to check out SmikeEvo thread in the stickies. Everyone saids they want to track the car, but who really does? Honesty to yourself about what you really do with the car will help you decided.

THIS! It seems like everyone throws this into their threads to somehow make themselves sound legitimate or something.
