I've got a 2019 GT Premium, currently all stock except for the suspension which I replaced with the Ford Performance shocks & struts when one of them sprang a leak. Looking at getting at least a small upgrade over stock for my brakes and I was looking at this Powerstop kit:

My question is, is there any problem with getting just the Powerstop brake pads at first? There's no noticeable wear on the current rotors (only 14k miles at this point) and I've only put it on the track about 6 times over the last 18 months. Really just looking for insight as to whether it's going to be fine to keep the original rotors or if the full kit with rotors is worthwhile. No plans to increase track time beyond 3-4 times a year at this point.

No issue running the pads on the stock rotors. A few heat cycles and seating them and should be good to go.
