You're running slotted brake rotors, right?

yes!
full mods are maperf oil cooler, e85 with flex tune, eibach springs with koni yellows, camber bolts, rear lca, slotted front stoptech rotors, currently running ebc reds but I have yellows coming in the mail tomorrow (everything seems out of stock, unfortunately? So that was all I could source last minute. Might have to hit up @CSGmike next season if I get hooked) For tires I have champiro sx2's.

Be curious, and pay attention to these nudges. Brakes feel even a little weird? Cool 'em down. Not sure its ok to pass? Don't. It's ok to wonder if you really needed to play it safe.
There's a chance it'll be just as terrifying when you're done. I enjoy the driving, but don't have fun when there are others out there... It stops being fun. I probably won't go out on a real track again. Though we'll see. I'd probably still have my original BRZ if I'd paid attention to the nagging doubt that conditions were shit and the tires too far gone for a codriver his first time out to be pushing that hard his first run... And maybe I'd have said something. It can feel like turning back 100M from the Everest peak. It's right there. But turn back, you can try again tomorrow. Push on? Might not make it back down.

As everyone else has said, relax and have fun. Review track videos. There are usually some out there with an instructor giving an overview of the track while driving at speed. Know where the flag stations are. Try to get in the habit of glancing at them as you approach especially if it's a blind hill or corner.

Can confirm. Four days on these...
https://photos.app.goo.gl/6tknjqpHiE9M9FZr6 You'll be fine for this event, but have a look at them afterwards and judge if you want to keep them for the street and put on something a little more robust next time out. EDIT: For context, my brake pad history went like this:

Drive within your limits, no reward for being a hero, you have nothing to prove, go out and enjoy driving the car at speed.

Worried is not bad.
Get an instructor or well experienced driver to ride with you. If it is within your comfort zone to have someone else drive your car, have an experienced driver take you for a ride around the track. You will be very surprised what these cars can do. These cars are very capable in pure stock form, It is doubtful that you will be able to out drive the cars capability in bone stock form your first time out. After you know this is something you like, start preparing your car for future events with the modifications mentioned above. |

I regret to inform you C2 rears (non brembo) are now out of stock. Should be restocked shortly.
CP rears are still available, as are other options. |
