great setup you'll have there, and definately a good direction to head towards. But I would save $$$ by getting the cheap RDA slotted rotors instead of the Brembos and drilled rotors reduces frictional area and prone to stress fracture unless you stay below 300-350C at all times. btw the finishing of the RDA rotors ie runout are within 0.16 micron whereas the brembos are around 0.30 microns; so despite the bunky image of the RDA rotors there is nothing wrong with them apart from the lack of bragging rights; I use 320mm RDA rotors in my AMG Merc with EBC red and this combo works better and quieter than the factory OE setup!

and I would choose a diff pad as well, if you are after high friction Ferodo then go for the DS2500 for $250 or so for serious track work or go for the Lucas for fast street for $80. The TS2000 is neither here nor there. If you fear the brakes working too well esp on street tyres and lock up then consider the low friction option ie EBC red, EBC black ( only good up to 380C mind you ) or any EE compound custom made pads from a brake supplier.


For track work with hard braking on a track hard on brakes and if you do more than 3 laps at a time you might also want to consider installing 3" air duct/hoses to feed air to cool the brakes by aiming them at the caliper and remove the backing plate. No need anything fancy just rig something up with wire ties and source the incoming air on the bumper opening.
