Default 94 rx7 brake upgrades?

Anyone know of a good brake upgrade kit for a '94 rx7? Friend of mine is going to track his car at Sebring and the stockers aren't going to be up to the task. I'm wondering if there's a nice brake kit out there for that year that we can put on, i.e. solid rotors, braided lines, calipers, track pads, etc.?

93-95 RX7 :: Brake Parts - CorkSport Mazda Performance - 360-260-CORK#
RX7 Store - Rotary performance parts and accessories
Rotary Performance | FD Brakes

honestly though a good set of track pads, fluid change to a higher boiling point fluid, maybe some new brake lines and some new rotors should be all he needs

Thanks. I'm going to get him to go with those slotted rotors (he has some drilled crap on there now that is showing some slight cracking around the holes), the Hawk HP Plus pads and the braided lines, should be more than enough while he gets up to speed on road course driving.

How much power is he running? Is is still Rotary? What are his tire sizes? If he is still Rotary, what has he done to control his temps?

I believe about 400 hp, it's turbo'd, not sure on tires/temps, I was more on the convincing to do it side and then once I got that far I said hey we need to do something about these brakes.

Hp+ are not up to the task IMHO.. They are a decent Pad for part time HDPE since they are fade resistant, but when they get REALLY hot they melt and go away.. not in a violent or dangerous way. just in a frustrating, why can't I stop like before? Crap I blew that turn way.

Any thoughts on Cobalt Xr2 on the front and Xr5 on the rear? That's what someone else recommended to me for pads.
