I went sprinkle slotted on mine from Z1, Motul 600, EBC Redstuff, SS Lines from Z1; Then sat there and made sure the dealership flushed them out really good.

best part is they get even better and better the more you heat them up! Have yet to be disappointed when pushing them on public roads.

First car I've had in my life that finally has brakes that don't suck:

i have the kit in the first link. yes it fits under the stock 18"s but only with a 20mm spacer. I now have the PF01 18x9.5 upfront wit no spacer, the wheel just clears the caliper, i cant even fit a wheel weight in between the caliper and the wheel.

Thanks for the information. I ended up going with the Akebono sport brakes, stainless steel lines, 2-piece sprinkle slotted rotors, and Posi-Quiet ceramic pads (will grab a set of Carbotech's once I figure out which track events I'm going to do). If I ever decide these aren't enough it's good to know that kit will fit on the stock 18's with a spacer.

Thanks also to everyone who pointed me in the right direction with regard to wheels and tires.

My plan is to get a set of either RPF1's or PF01's in 18x10 (front) and 18x11 (back) with some sticky summer tires. If it snows here (sometimes happens in Dallas), I'll can always swap the stock 18's back on with my existing all-season tires.

Yes the rear bias sucks! Even when people run softer rear pads and do an ABS delete with a proportioning valve and turn it all the to the front, the rear bias still sucks. Don't go big back there. Rear Akebono is plenty with a softer pad.
