Also what’re your thoughts on swapping trans fluid? I’ve been thinking of swapping in BG syncroshift ii because I’m nearing 100k miles on the stock fluid. Also how often should brake fluid be flushed/replaced if I hit 3-4 track days+autox per year?
I swapped BG fluid in my trans and diff at 5k miles. It completely got rid of the notchy shifting especially when cold.

Brake fluid should be changed every 1-2 track days depending on the track. AutoX isn’t really isn’t as taxing on brakes so you can go longer in between intervals.

I use BG syncroshift in my car. Great product. I flush trans/diff fluid once a year at about 5 track days a year.

I run a bottle of brake fluid through my car before every event. Really, I'm just doing a quick bleed at the calipers but as brake fluid doesn't keep, I see no reason to not use up the whole bottle. Probably overkill but it's cheap insurance.

My car sees plenty of street miles during the year. These pads will never get enough heat in them like they do on track just driving normally on the street. We all know track pads make noise when braking which is normal. These however will squeak like you’re pressing the brakes even if you’re not at slower speeds. I thought my calipers were slightly hanging up until I my friend installed the same pads on his. Same issue. Then there was a thread on here about it as well. The only time it doesn’t is after a track day after they get heat in them and they quiet down. I could deal with noise while braking. Couldn’t deal with the constant squeaking while driving. From now on I’ll swap pads before and after track days if they’re far apart
To each their own. Track cars make noise; doesn't bother me in the slightest.
My concern would be track pads eating away your rotors with lots of street miles. Either way, swapping to street pads for street use is a good idea. 👍
