Just don't fall for buying the "premium" product or anything, just get the most basic blank they offer and you'll be all set

I don't think there is an Advance auto parts store around my area but I'll keep looking around. For now I am going to go with the Autozone rotors because of the 2 year warranty. If I end up not liking them I'll end up going a different route later down the road. Thanks for your input!

In terms of your brakes, I think the PMU pads and fresh fluids will be plenty to get you going safely. Remember, you don't have to kill the car when you are starting out, but rather focus on rhythm and your lines like rohde mentioned. Also keep an eye on your oil levels before/during the track day.

Cool man I'll be in the red AP2. I'm going with a buddy in his Suzuka Blue Ap2. I'll be doing my oil today and my tranny+diff. I think taking it easy the first session and learning the corners and lines is what I'll be doing. Thanks for the advice and hope to see you around!
