Default Stoptech ST60/ST40 Questions

Saving up for a big brake kit for my 2010 Grand Sport. Considering Stoptech's offerings currently. Just have a few questions for anyone currently running this setup. I would be looking at the 14" Front/Rear kits.

I've read that the front lower control arms have to be shaved/ground down to fit the Stoptech rotors. I thought I've also read that Stoptech updated the kit and this was no longer required. So, just wondering if this is still the case and if it still is what is the best way to do it? And if anyone has a copy of the installation instructions that they could share, I would greatly appreciate it. I just want to see what is all involved.

The ST60/ST40 kit ships with their Street Performance pads. How do these hold up for HPDE track days and daily driving? Just wondering if I would be able to just install the BBK's as is and have the Street Performance pads serve as dual purpose. I think they Street Performance pads are rated to 1300 F?

Last question...can anyone confirm/deny if the stock Grand Sport wheels work with the ST60/ST40 14" BBKs?
