1. That may be the only mazda to match a Z(yet) but i also don't believe theres been any real matchup of Z vs speed3.
2. On that same track a speed6 got like 2 seconds slower than a Z. Not only are speed6's heavier that speed3's but are also tuned down 20 or so horsepower in england so it's quite possible that a more powerful and MUCH lighter mazda3(though fwd) could make up those two seconds.
but as i said before... still hoping for that evo instead...

They're pretty proud of those Ferodos, aren't they? I think you might want to keep shopping and consider a intermediate compound pad at a lower price point for your first school. Just my $0.02.

Payment has been sent out today so please add my name to the list.
So what is required for safety equipment? Some of the clubs vary wildly on this point and I just wanted to check.
Tech inspection (self, club, mechanic)
Seat belts (OEM, harness)
Helmet (any, SA2000)
Clothing (doesn't matter, cotton long sleeve shirt / pants, Nomex?)
Eye protection (none, glasses, face shield)
Roll bar (none, harness bar, 4pt roll bar, full roll cage)
Corner workers (none, participants, dedicated)

Also any other suggestions to go with my StopTech OEM kit? I don't want to destroy my slotted rotors.
Will what EBC did you suggest?

The Cobalt GT sport pads I think are an equivalent pad, but I have had horrible issues getting them. Either they are out of stock, or no one bothers to return my calls. David M swears by them, so you know they're good if you can get them in time.

Regarding the Cobolts...
This may only apply to the Brembo folks - theres a fitment issue with the front pads. The metal backing plate is about 1/16" too big. I had to grind the corners down with a file to get them to work. I've also seen posts on this forum regarding this issue. and was going to mention this to them when I place my next order.
