I bought my 06 with under 10k on the clock. Still had the original RE50s on it. I'm over 16k now and they still have more than 50% tread left.

I am going to purchase Powerslot rotors with Hawk HPS pads and steel brake lines. Upon install, I will replace my fluid with Ate Super Blue. I read alot about brakes here and the general consesus seems to be the OEM stuff is good enough for most. As I am no expert (yet), I think this setup will work fine. Not ready for new calipers or bigger rotors. I may consider purchasing some track specific pads for my track days. Not trying to hijack this thread, sorry.
