90% street miles. Maybe 1 track day a year.

I'll search too, but the forum is pretty slow and it gives us something to talk about!

AP racing disks. Easy to get and replace, hats last a while.

I like pAgid for pads, though you'll have to decide if you want to run a track compound year round, or swap when it's time to head for the track from a street based compound.

I'm going to need rear pads soon. Since I like purchasing from Pelican, I was looking at the TRW or Textar. I've read that Textar was an OE supplier in the past (not sure about now), so the 80% savings looks attractive. I too drive >90% on the street. I'd be happy with something equivalent to the OE pads.

I have Hawk blues on right now. I preferred the OEM pads to them.

OEM Rotors and OEM pads from Gaudin or similar. It's the best price I can find on them.

Went through same exercise, expecting 1-2 track days a year. Apex Performance recommended AP rotors and Ferodo DS2500 pads. It’s what I went with.
