Brake pads STOPTECH or Hawk Performance
StopTech rotor drilled & slotted. StopTech streetpads.
I did install Hawk HP+ pads w/Centric high carbon blank rotors and flushed the system with Motul 600 brake fluid. That setup has worked well on my girlfriend's Cooper S while it did double duty on track weekends. So, it should work for this car.
Hawk HPS are GREAT.
I run StopTech® Sport. They did me just fine on the track and are still suitable for daily/spirited driving.
Hawk HPS5.0 pads front and rear with slotted StopTech rotors.
I have StopTech pads and rotors on my car and have not had any issues.
I use the Stoptech Street Performance pads and they do a good job. ABS comes on with most 200TW tires... but I havne't tried the RE71R yet. Can't ask your brakes to do much more.
For track and autocross on my Miata I use Hawk HP+ and ATE Type 200 brake fluid. Both work really well, though the pads are likely overly aggressive for a daily driver.
Some mk6's have the 272mm rotors and some have the 253mm. I found out the hard way when I ordered the standard Stoptech Street Performance pads. Had to reorder.
I used Stoptech sport pads and am kind of regretting it. They don't seem to have great initial bite so I may swap to something else this summer.
