Don't bother spending $$$ on fancy drilled/slotted rotors [for the track]. Get cheapo blanks paired with quality pads & high temp fluids. No street pad will hold up to track abuse, maybe your first weekend two but only a matter of time before you get fade. Get track pads for track, street pads for street. Hawks and PFC tend to be the popular ones here. I ran stock calipers + PFC's for 2 years before upgrading to a bbk.

And as you log more days, look into brake cooling. I did a write-up for the Aero bumper here, and it's helped tremendously.
