Update

Thanks to everyone for the advice; its been very helpful.

When I get to the garage, tomorrow morning, I'll install new Zimmerman cross-drilled rotors (both front and rear originals were nearing min spec) and – thanks to super-knowledgable help from Speed Freaks LLC – new Performance Friction 0776.11.17.44 front and 0738.08.16.44 rear pads. (And yes, I know about proper bedding.) I'll put in new ATE Super Blue (I stocked up) and install GT3 ducts (why are GT2s 10x more $?!?). I have the PCA CVR (CT) rally on Sunday and a track day at Limerock the following week, so I'll let you know how it goes...or, more precisely, slows down!

BTW: I'm pretty sure that I am not over-braking; I've had very experienced PCA DE instructors/serious racers with me at every turn, and I'm aware of the cars limits and I'm quick in my group. I do think there was a time when I allowed the NT-01s to get too warm and slippery, which invoked the ABS, which further over-heated the brakes, but that's easy to avoid with proper attention to tire pressures.
