Visually check your brake pad thickness on each corner after each session. You might use a lot of it throughout the day but can probably get away with stock pads for your first time on track. If you have aftermarket ceramic pads then they will probably melt down to nothing within a session or two...not recommended.
Yes I would recommend the ZL1 brakes for your car if you plan to do a lot of track days in the future to better align with the horsepower you have vs. the horsepower the stock SS brakes were designed for.
You would need a set of both front and rear pads if you upgraded otherwise the stock brake pads that you left on one axle would badly overheat and wear away to nothing very quickly.
