Default better brakes for trackdays

need a good brake set up for track days for my rst s2 (dont want brake fade after a few laps) was thinking of the 2wd cosworth pagid 8 groove disc with 4x4 calippers set up with goodridge hoses. dont know if they will fit with my standard wheels or which pads or fluid to use. please help me.

put some 4x4 brakes on my s2 not long ago before doin a track day..totally transformed the brakin, was pants before!!! I used standard discs (don't think u reallly need to bother with grooved ones as 2wd discs are quite thick so don't tend to warp), but paid the money and got some ferodo DS2500 pads (expensive but fuckin good), and braided lines. As for fluid, get some good quality synthetic dot4 and all that's left is to give em a good bleeding!! Hope this helps
