Get some DRM ( Doug Rippie) brake duct extensions.

DOT 4 brake fluid, ATE supper blue, Motul, Wilwood 600, or my fav Castrol SRF. Change it befoe each track event.

Better brake pads, Wilwood H, PFC-01s Hawk DT70s or Carbotech XP-12 & 11 combo. Carbotech could be driven to the track an back. Others are not good for street use.

SS brake lines.

Stock rotors.

This combination are what most serious guys use. BBKs tend to be for guys with Deep pockets who dont go to the track

The stock PBR brakes are very very good. ALso there are more threads on this topic.
