are the tires locked up and sliding or just not enough brake to keep them in place?

73mm svo/lincoln mark7 calipers, stainless braided hoses and good pads/rotors will lock up tight.

otherwise a transbrake is probably your best bet.

Hawk HPS would probably work best, you won't be getting the pads hot and 'racing' pads will not work well at all when they are cold. Street intended pads will work best to hold when cold.
