I'm tracking a 1SS, mostly TNIA and some time trials. About 15 track days in all. My car has about 14,000 miles on it.

Deflectors are installed, backing plates removed. I run Castrol SRF fluid and I also run a set of 1LE wheels and tires.

My front pads are factory original although they won't last through this season. I'm on my 3rd (or maybe 4th) set of front rotors. Rears are all factory original.

The front rotors are the weak point, they just don't take the heat. But, I was buying them from GM Parts Direct for $85 each so who cares, they're almost disposable at that price. The price has gone up though so maybe I'll look for a better aftermarket rotor this year.

I have no brake issues at all. Even when the front rotors are cooked, I can still dive into a corner at 130+ with no fade or anything.
