If they will be then that's fine and I will save money by not having to get a bbk. If I will need the bbk eventually, then I'll just wait to get that and leave my base brakes alone until I do.

My goal really isn't to push the limits of my car. I want to have fun and improve my driving skills, especially with the high performance driving on a track. Once I feel more comfortable driving on the track then I will try to push the limits of the car. Also, this should get me much more prepared for my next car, which will probably be a step up in performance.
Yes, you will be fine. Base brakes + Carbotech Pads + Track Fluid, and you wont die in a fireball. It will probably last you until you decide to send the car off to pasture, and save you a lot of money in the process.

Is it as good as Sport brakes + Carbotech Pads + Fluid? Probably not, but your car will STILL STOP, and you STILL WONT DIE lol. You will still learn everything you want to learn.
