EBC green stuff is good for street/light track use. red stuff for more track issues.

i'd go brembo blanks for rotors, stay away from slotted/drilled. they're just hard to turn if you warp them. many places wont turn them but order more for you.

sigh. I've taken my drilled/slotted rotors in to be machined. They were barely warped if at all. Just a little beat up from debris. The shop charges 10 bucks a rotor normally and 15 a rotor if they are drilled slotted. The other places I called had no problem with drilled/slotted. Maybe its time to find a new mechanic or stop lying

And for the record. Flat tracks don't eat brakes that quick, they get a chance to cool down there. Come down 4000 feet of elevation over 15 miles in an automatic a few times and tell me how your stock pads and rotors are hanging in there.. If you're lucky you'll get to feel the rotor through the pedal the second it warps as your coming down a big long downgrade at the bottom of the hill.

20k miles and 0 track days. Stock rotors and pads were toast.
