Therefore, you wont experience brake fade as quickly.

New pads/lines/fluid looks like a sufficient first step to me.
Exactly. Yes, 6/4s will show their use in repeated lapping sessions, but they're still way overkill for this car, even in that scenario. Think about it this way. The STI/Evo weigh 500lbs more than this car, have 100hp more and have 4/2s that can handle years of dedicated track duty no sweat.
