Default Taking My Roadster To The Track

Will be running my roadster on a road course later this month. Planning on replacing oem pads with Hawk HP and HPS and brake lines with Russell Stainless Steel Lines. Anyone have any suggestions regarding a performance brake fluid? At this point I am not going to replace the rotors. Will wait to see how these changes work out.

I'm from MA and the courses round here are pretty specific about how high the rollbars are over your helmet ( broomstick test) I havent don it yet on my roadster but do oyu know if our factory rollbars are big enough? thanks in advance. P.s. where will you be racing it?

I'll be racing at Pocono with NASA Northeast and PDA. I asked them whether the factory roll bars in the 350z roadster would be acceptable. They both replied they would be at Pocono and I think Watkins Glen and not OK at Lime Rock. I have not tried the broom stick test, but every time I look at the height of the roll bar I don't see how the broom stick
will clear my helmet. But, I have e-mail responses from both groups approving the roadster. I'll be bringing those e-mails with me and I'll practice sitting very low in my seat.
