Hawk HPS or LTS with Brembo blanks.

Bleed the system with Castrol GT LMA (low moisture activity) brake fluid or Valvoline Synthetic (also LMA). Not sure if you need to go ATE Gold 200, besides, it's a DOT 4.

Out of those two, I'd say Hawk HPS also.

Some people on BITOG have reported that Bendix CT3 ceramic brakes stop as well as Hawk HPS. Made in USA if that matters.
