I second what the others said about pads and fluids, regardless what setup you have. Put a good fluid like Endless, Project mU, Motul RBF 660, Brembo HTC64/LCF and a pad that can take higher temps. You might be able to get away with running the OEM pads for one or two track days, but if you want them to last I'd get something better. I'm personally running the Endless MX72 and the MX72+. Looking at moving up to the Endless CCRG next.

As for upgrading to a BBK or adding brake ducts? I don't think thats necessary yet. I have a caliper temperature gauge on my akebonos, the gauge explodes tiny packets of gunpowder as the temperatures rise indicating the high point. In my 2 years of serious time attack driving, i've never had a single one trigger. Maybe i'm just good on my brakes but i know my lap times are fairly competitive.

If you're having heat issues or can't stop the car quick enough, then you should think about doing those things but till then focus on learning the car for now.
