If you're buying new brake pads, get a decent set of high performance street pads like Hawk HPS instead of $20 Mintex. Change the brake fluid with something decent like ATE 200 instead of the latest Advance Auto Parts brand fluid, and you'll be set for several DEs. These are good street car upgrades so if you decide the track isn't for you you haven't wasted any money. If you do decide that you like the track thing, you'll burn through the pads faster than you'll be ready to step up to the next level anyway, so no worry about wasting money there either.

Echoing the sentiments expressed here and by my fellow dorki bredren! All you need is some good rubber, swap of brake pads and fluid, and bring the 911 out to the next Tech Inspection. From there, just make sure the nut behind the wheel is good.
