Thats the exact setup I am going to try next!
I have run on Hawk HP+ which worked fine at Buttonwillow but not good for extended braking zones like at Big Willow. Those pads would be ok on a stock 370Z with stock or street tires. As you get faster, speeds get higher, tires get stickier, etc. they won't be very good which is why I am making the switch to Carbotech. I also like that Carboetch has a bunch of compound options so I have room to get more or less agressive if I need to.
As far as the rest of the braking system, I have had no troubles. Rotors have been fine. I did put RBF600 in before I ever took the car on track though. Stock fluid always sucks. Also installing some Challenge stainless lines soon.
