Thanks!

I'm firmly in the camp of putting on proper track pads for the track. If you have the ability to change your pads: (1) 14mm wrench is all that's needed, then just slap on the track pads before headed down for the day.
I'm preferential to the Raybestos ST47 up front and 43 in the rear. The thing I like about the Raybestos is that they don't really need "bedding" and they don't care about what transfer layer is already on the rotor, so they really are a "throw them on and go" type of pad. Totemo races on GLOC and likes those as well. The problem you'll face on stock rotors/calipers is that without brake ducts you'll struggle with sustainability.
Get brake ducts, especially if you add more power or more tire - you'll find that without ducts you'll fade/melt any pad you put on the car.
