That being said my new car that will be here in March will have a BBK before it ever on the track as a BBK is proper way to go if you lap a lot but it does not mean that you can use the brakes at 100% every lap of a complete session even with race pads as heat management with this heavy a car is a huge problem for us.I do intend to run Pagid RS 19 or 29's for the track.

The RS19 or RS29 are a good, all-around endurance race pad. They are made for lasting long runs (4-12 hours) with good friction. If you are looking for more of a sprint pad (more aggressive friction, less than 4 hour runs and good rotor life), try the Mintex F3R up front. These were developed for 3500 pound professional stock cars that have small brakes and drivers who want a very linear feel and great release characteristics. Since the Mintex MXM's that come in the rear kit have a similar response curve (just a little lower friction) they make a very good pairing with the F3R up front.
