It all depends on how much street driving and track driving you do, your tolerance for noise and brake dust, and how frequently you mind changing your rotors. There is a lot of good information on Suspension & Brakes and Racing & Competition forums. I hardly drive my car on the street besides going to and from events and I don't mind noise and dust, so my next set of pads will be Carbotech XP10.

some drone but not as bad as the invidia. are you planning to run a tp or cat?

i am not getting the stopteck bbk. its just their sport brake kit. it only comes with slotted rotors, pads, and lines for all four corners.

i would say do the brake upgrade because if you already started tracking, itll get even more addicting! i was at the last GDS too and with you going faster and faster, youll want brakes to properly slow you down.
