Default Brake Question

Bringing my car intp the pef shop for some extras and was going to have them check my pads. I occaisionally hit the auto-x track (every 4-8 weeks), love to drag same frequency. Is it woth it for me to upgrade the pads (any reccommendations--metallics?)? What about stainless steel brake lines and upgrade of the fluid? thanx guys :seeya

Not neccessary for auto-x or drag, just learn to drive the car the way it is.

I do not think there is anything wrong with the stock pads and rotors. DEFINITELY change out the fluid. Ford High Performance brake fluid is the bang for the buck. ATE Super Blue is a good choice also. Steele lines...do increase brake pedal feel. I'd do it if not on a budget.
