My life is a- Ben Stiller movie.
possible brake upgrade?
resurfaced rotors
stock calipers
Hawk Pads [dunno which ones?
]
Steel Brake lines
Looking for quality stopping power looking for a good street set up, with auto cross intent.... I'm open minded but don't just wanna throw money at it.

triple-black- 2000 CamaroSS convertible
Brembo blank rotors + Hawks HPS pads.
keep stock rear pads + rotors if in any decent wear left.
bleed the system with new fluid.Eugenio_SS
almost stock triple-black 2000 SS convertible with 17x11s on all 4 w/ 315s at the track or on the street with 18x10.5s on all 4 w/ 315s: (1), (2)

I agree with Eugenio.
I would add that you should try to upgrade to a higher quality brake fluid as even in Auto-X the brakes heat up to a higher temp than on the street.

And just to stay on topic a "higher quality brake fluid" means higher boiling point, at least!

I've had HPS in the rear... no problem.
I know they also make them for the front... and several ppl have used them.
I don't see any issues.
