s13 brakes: good pads vs. z32's with whatever pads

Looking for advice from people who track their car.. I don't really care for advice that comes from driving the car hard on the street, thanks though.

So I need new brakes soon... pretty damn soon, and I was just pondering...

setup 1: stock non-abs s13 brakes with decent pads such as Hawk HP+.

setup 2: z32 with some cheapo performance friction(with lifetime warranty) from autozone.

setup 3: q45 calipers with cheapo performance friction pads.

Assuming all three setups use the same brake fluid, lines, bleed, Toyo T1r or slightly better tires, and blank rotors.. Which will perform the best at the track(I've only done grip events so far)? Please also take into consideration that the car will be daily driven as well... MEANING: the car will see track days a few times a year, and also be my daily driver.

It should be obvious that the z32 brakes with z32 master cylinder and some good quality pads will be the best, but I'm a broke ass and trying to get the most for the little amount of money I have.

Just getting some decent pads for my setup would probably be the cheapest, but not too much room to upgrade in the future.


So experienced people, please advise.
