Default need new brakes! which ones and where?

so i decided to try to beat my best lap time and the track record for honda/acura cars at the track where i work, i did just that but at the price of my front pads(OEM), it was worth it. Now the brakes squeel all the time even when not braking(warped rotors?)

my question is what i should replace the pads with and if i should or shouldn't upgrade the rotors as well, or should i get some cheap pads and save up for a good brake kit(it will take a while). i autocross almost everyday and so far this is the first thing to go. what brands are good to look for in rotors and pads? can i use all the pads available on any rotors or is there something in them that doesn't mix? let me know what i should do

tnx for the help

I would say get a set of Axxis brake pads and some brembo blanks. That should be pretty good.
