There is one pad to consider, Hawk HPS. It's an advanced street pad. I think the HP+, which I run, would just be too much for you right now. They dust A LOT!

Give Van Steel a call, 727-561-9199. They are here in Clearwater and typically ship same day. Or, you can call (to make sure they are in stock) and just drive down to pick them up if you feel like going for a cruise.

For tires, if you go with the 17x11s out back, I highly recommend the tires I run. Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta. Heck, I'd probably recommend these for you anyway, as it's a great blend of track and street compound. And are FANTASTIC in the rain...which I'm always concerned about. I don't like "having" to slow down due to the tires. Just FYI, the treadwear rating is 280. For some reason no one lists that rating on their site.
