Track day is coming

June 14th is track day (not 1/4-mile, not Auto-X) and I'm going to need new pads. Probably SS lines and fluid, too.

Should I bother with rear pads? Or just get good front ones. I'd like to get new rotors, but the budget fairy says no. Any recommendations?

I've read too many negative things about EBC to consider them (shredding rotors, warping rotors) since I've already grooved my stock rotors from a hard drive up and down some switchbacked hills (heh heh heh)

I am seriously considering Axxis Ultimate, and Porterfields. Any other good, readily available (read: please post a link) brake pads I could consider?

Thanx

I wouldn't use DOT5 fluid in our systems. There are lots of DOT4 fluids that are more than adequate.

Greg just go see farid and get some porterfields. They have held up for most at the past track events.
