Pagid RS29's with stock rotors work perfectly well for repeated 140->3rd gear and 100->3rd gear braking zones, lap after lap after lap.

The challenge with stock pads is that they will overheat if you go fast enough (and so will the stock PSS tires!), which will extend your brake distances. If you are not paying attention to slow down for a few laps to cool the brakes, you may be tempted to stomp on the brakes sooner, which will overheat them more and can lead to either warping the rotors, or applying uneven pad deposits onto them (resulting in similar vibration).

Start by going with RS29's.
Then pay attention to the brakes, and if your track can overwhelm even Pagids (Road America?), then slow down to cool them off, or install brake ducts.
