daggoth: the hawk ceramics are f00king awesome. I put those on when I upgraded to Racing Brake rotors. If you're feeling up to it, might as well get some Stainless Steel brake lines while you're at it.

I'll upload pics in a second...KDW2's for street hands down...durable, good traction, and while initially pricey, the life of the tire pays back...EASY

Yeah, just got done rotating tires, readjusting suspension, setting muh stiffy to full hard-on, and re-preloading, after adding just a smidgen of camber...

Did my track inspection and it looks like my rear ceramics are getting low...so I'll probably be getting a hold of Ray too...BHR FTMFW!!

If your going to upgrade the brake lines, get the clutch line too...they share the same system and if you leave it in, your not really taking advantage of the lines as the clutch line is still flexing...

Only thing I can recommend is DO NOT get speed bleeders if you intend on tracking the car. It's one of the reasons I have yet to take the car back. Reports of them failing on track is enough for me to replace them when I get a chance.

Other than that, if you replace the pads, you might as well flush the system with new fluid. Easiest thing I have found to do is use ATE super blue and ATE gold...they are the same stuff, just different colours, so you can tell when you have fully flushed the system by the color of the fluid. Prevents foul ups.
