Well you should know that regular maintenance includes tire inspection (pressure, tread depth, and wear). Brakes and tires are two of the most important safety items and should be near the top of your list when it comes to maintenance. I hope you do learn from this forum, as there is a lot of good information to be found

Using the information found on this forum along with the service manual which I downloaded from this forum I changed my front rotors and pads and did a brake flush for the first time last week on my own with my own tools in my own garage (I admit I borrowed a motive power bleeder for the brake flush).

I have heard good things about the Posi-Quiet pads for DD and the price is right. Centric rotors are fine and the ATE brake fluid is solid. I like the ATE because I can swap between the SuperBlue and the 200 (which is gold in color) and easily tell when the brakes are bled. Motul has some better options for heavy track duty. You might consider PMing some of the forum sponsors for comparable pricing. Most of the guys you can just tell them the type of driving you want to do and they'll steer you in the right direction (Joe@Zspeed is awesome!).
