The brakes were fading a little towards the end of a 30 min session. It was a coldwet/ day, so I wasn't going hard on the car. I guess I'll follow the crowd and go with RS29 and Castrol.
Depending on your track experience I think you'll find our after a few more track days that you'll need some upgraded track pads. The stock pads just won't hold up. I overheated mine and destroyed my rotors with uneven pad deposits. Put on some track pads, and new rotors, and problem solved.
