Okay so as long as I don't get the brake dust wet until I am cleaning them I should be okay. The only problem is that in FLorida for the next 3 months it will rain almost every afternoon. I will just put a butt loads of wax on like you recommend and see what happens. I would really like to get some track wheels before I go out there. I might just do that and put some good street rubber on them first. I was thinking about doing a 17x8 with 235/40 on them. Thinking that would be the choice based on what I have read. Thanks for your help, and I am sure that I will have some more questions as I get closer.

You do not need DTC-60 on the rear ...they will probably not generate enough heat/grip back there ... HP+, DTC30, or similar pad should work well out back ... remmember that 60+% of the braking is done by the front brakes ... so concentrate on the front brakes first
I run 235-40-17 Toyo RA1's on 17x8 ET 40 rims (-3 camber) with NO issues ...
Street tires and lapping ... You may trash then in one day particularily if you do not have enough front camber and they are full tread depth (build to much heat) ... trust me ... R-comps are cheaper in the long run
