I currently have OEM discs front and rear, with Carbotech XP8 pads at the front and Life110 performance pads at the rear.
Life110 braided hose, Life110 front pad insulators and the Motul fluid.
I’ll be changing the front discs over winter, to either Reyland or Scara73.
I was tempted to go for carbon ceramic discs and appropriate pads from CTE or TDE, but the cost is still a bit too high, one day I hope to as there are useful weight savings as well and increased durability.

Recommendation for front pads - https://www.racerindustries.com.au/project-mu-brak...

Obviously check for a local distributor to you. This is supposed to be perfectly fine for street use, & more than adequate for track (WTAC competitor was running them over here).

I've used PMu's "Club Racer" compound on a different car for >5 track season (plus road use) & they are outstanding. Completely cured my pad deposit problem.

Unfortunately PMu don't have a pad for our unique rear brakes, so there might be some concern around braking balance if one was to get really serious & couldn't find a suitable pad for the rear.
