I'm thinking Mintex 1144 or the EBC greenstuff pads as a minimum. I don't want to burn up my stock rotors. I'm considering upgrading the rotors/calipers too if I can afford it. 17" wheels are in the future (hey I can dream..), but I'd need something that works with the stock 16" if possible.

I haven't heard anything about them causing warping or anything of that sort. I took them to a small track this weekend and even before they were properly bedded, they still beat my stock pads all to hell. FYI- Tirerack has them for about $85 shipped to your door and install is easy as pie. Rick The first Blown 3 Liter!
