I will be making a few calls this week if I get a moment. It's no rush since I rarely race in the warmer months anyway.

The V setup seems to be the most liked and best bang for the buck.

I run the C6Z brakes on the 78 TA and they are awesome. Huge improvement over the C5 setup. I do have pad knock back on the rear due to C clip axles which will be addressed in the future via installing floating axle ends.

High speed( such as velocities you mentioned) aggressive stops are not an issue. I worry more about the people behind me stopping in time than me hitting the people in front.

GM calipers, Hawk pads and DBA rotors. I'd switch to an aggressive pad and cheap stock blank rotor for track days.

Tobin & I have done a good bit of business together.
Once I have all the options laid out clearly, I will see what makes the most sense. Good brakes I consider to be generally a safety item but it's more needed for 1/4 mile passes. I horse around on the highway but I'm no 1320 video star.

I had EBC greens a while back. They were fine but the car was much slower then.
