    You can run ss lines, upgraded fluid, good rotors, and an aggressive street pad and you should be fine.

    For your application slots or cross drilling isn't super essential on the rotors so long as they are a quality/heavy part. Although I believe Pete posted an article that showed cross drilling did improve brake performance on the street due to improved cooling. And the slotting is supposed to help but it does eat your pads faster. At the end of the day just buy a quality part and you should be fine.

    For fluid I run Motul RBF 600 and have never had it boil but ATE Super Blue should also work just fine or any other fluid with a similar wet boiling point.

    With regard to pads my experience has mainly been with ebc and for a car driven mostly on the street I would recomend ebc reds. You could go up to yellows but they have a weaker cold bite than the reds, although its not a huge difference. The deciding factor is if you want to deal with the weaker initial bite of the yellows in favor of their better hot performance on a track. Since you don't track the car often that is why I suggested the reds over the yellows. I have also heard great things about carbotechs and I'm sure Phillip could make some awesome recomendations for you if wanted to go that route.
