Thanks guy
That depends on spring rate.

I'm not forced to change out brakes as I have stock pads, and P.mu pads are only used for the track. I am aware that there are other proven brake upgrades available (AP Sprint Kit) but RR-R Sport kit seems like a good middle ground IFF it performs better than P.mu CR front and rear pads.
With... what pads?

I have no experience with Wilwood pads so I suppose the BP10 or BP20 (only $14 difference) that are offered...

I would just ask for no pads and have the cost of the pads taken out, and continue using club racers, if you like how club racers feel

Continue using club racers, as in buy a set of club racers that fit the Wilwood caliper?

Edit: P.mu offers pad shapes that fit Wilwood calipers.

Thanks Mike! I was not planning on going very low so thats perfect. Also do you think whitelines front roll center correction is worth getting?

Only if you have a clear idea of what your doing. My rule of thumb is if you have to ask if its worth it, you shouldn't get it.

Good point I will see how it is with just the coils and a proper alignment.

Hmm, seeing the chat about RR Racing's sport kit has me thinking... That might be step one to not murdering brakes again next time at the track. Cheap as chips too and they're like 15 minutes away from me, heh.
