Looking for upgrade advice...
So I'm happy with the Boss engine, exhaust and look but feel that the braking could use improvement along with the cars tendency to dive hard under braking. I'm hoping better pads front AND rear could help. Any other suggestions? And as for Pads, I like to keep 'me quite but would love to upgrade on track performance. Any one have experience they'd like to share?

I can't speak from personal experience yet, but new springs seem to be the most popular choice to combat brake dive. Also improves ride height. I will be looking into new springs next year also. Can't wait to replace the stock pads too, insane amounts of dust.

I would say the HPS's are a great pads for street and track, I have used them for 3 track days so far plus 10k miles and they are probably no more then 30% worn. If you have the baffles out I would even think you could switch to HP+'s without really hearing the squeal, but I would check with Hawk on that. As for brake dive and roll I would say the P springs are awesome, stiffer ride, but awesome on a course. Also switching out the LCA's and PHB worked wonders for me.

What is your budget? We have worked on several bosses to achieve the same items that you have described above ... we took a good Boss 302 and made it great!
We have a lot of great parts for the Boss : http://www.steeda.com/store/index.ph...=&x=-962&y=-81
You can also check out what we did with our Steeda Boss here:
