If you are just starting to track the car, maybe "dual-use" brake pads will work for you -- for now. In the end though, you're going to have to start using real track pads at the track.

I would just get solid-face or slotted, vented rotors to replace your stock rotors. Do not get cross-drilled. Decent "dual-use" pads I've used are Hawk HP+ (nasty dust and light-braking squeal). Others have used EBC Reds, Axxis Ultimate, Porterfield R4S to varying degrees of success.

You can get some of these products from the Tire Rack, others from several of the other bigger online stores.
