brakes
I dont know if this should be in the brake section or here.... either way, what are you autoX guys running as far as brakes?? I hear a lot of good things about Hawk pads.
Do you change them at the event or run them all the time. When I went to Gingerman last year almost all the guys swapped out there pads at the track. I would prefer not to do that though.
Pads?
Rotors?
SS lines?

RE: brakes
so the Hawk HPS are good for DD then? I have heard that braided lines only last a few years....
I think I will pick up some pads and rotors, maybe hold off on the lines right now, depends on money.....I want boost 
you still thinking of going to that track day in April Gabe?

RE: brakes
Just go with Brembo OE rotors. From importrp.com, they're about $85-ish shipped for 2 front's.
And I'm sort of against Hawk HPS pads since they're semi-metallic. Creates the squeel. But for more aggressive driving, I'd go with them. Like track or auto-xing that require tremendous amounts of braking over daily driving.
But for daily driving, I'd stick with EBC Green's.
