which brake to use?

current steup: oem 04 wrx calipers, ss lines, ate superblue dot 4, and posi quiet pads (which i dont think anyones heard of)

I do a lot of hard backroad and mountain runs/ planning on doing a lot more auto-x and brake pretty harshly from about 65mph->30mph very quickly/late on the road i usually like to drive on. my rotors seem to be overheating and warping quickly and i dont want to keep thining out my rotors from resurfacing. question for those experienced out there~ which brake applications would you recommend for my type of driving without going over $1k for all 4 corners? (rotors/pads/etc) i dont mind dusting at all as long as the pads are easier on my rotors. i wouldnt mind if the pads didnt last forever either~

Oh btw this is also my daily commute car but never travel too far

thanks a lot!,
Justin

I have the 4-pots and for track days they are great. I pushed them pretty hard with no fade
on STI pads. 5-6 runs per session.
