The stock brakes seem to hold up fine on the track, even in the 90+ heat. We were running some Alcon temp strips, and the calipers did get a little hotter than we were hoping, but I think that problem will be resolved once we finish the brake ducting.
The only upgrades to the brakes so far have been Project Mu BForce pads and a high temp brake fluid change. I just purchased some braided lines that we'll be putting on as well. I'd love a bbk, but the performance of the OEM brakes seems to be more than adequate for now.

Work XD9 - 18x9 +20, 18x10 +18
Nitto NT05 - 245/40/R18, 275/40/R18
NT05's are great btw... don't know how long they'd last on the street since they're pretty soft, but once they heat up the grip like crazy. Only time I've lost control was when I hit a patch of gravel on the track yesterday. The car started to slide, but as soon as I hit clean track again the tires hooked right back up.

Haha, yeah Darren and I didn't run our cars, we were there to spectate.
Here is the other Sedan I thought you were talking about, any idea who this is?
