Yes, any brake pad that is out on the market for the 370Zs, G37s, etc that is made for the Akebono (sport) calipers will work with these rotors, naturally.
Since there are many good options available suited for different driving styles and situations, It is best to go with your personal preference and a pad that suits you and your individual driving habits and needs.
In your case, it is the best idea to have a designated street pad for daily driving, and a designated track pad (with a much higher heat range) when at the track. Carbotech's products will be just fine.
The completely changing of the rotors from our RA rotors to the stock ones is not necessary, and might be a little more time consuming than expected as there is more to the process with our rotor kit than just simply changing rotors when changing back to the stock ones. Our RA rotors are also heat treated, stressed relieved and usually much harder than most rotors, so they adapt well to whatever pad you switch to. Unlike softer rotors where pad material gets more deeper in-bedded into the rotor and would require more extensive break-in and sometimes even a slight re-surfacing of the rotors to be optimal when changing to different pads.
As for the Motul RBF600 brake fluid... That along with a few other high quality, high temp brake fluids would be a good choice.
