You either get a street pad that will kill you in turn one, or a track pad that squeals and dusts like crazy. The closest I found was the Hawk HP+, I ran them on the M3. They were pretty good on the track for a "street" pad, but kept my wheels black and my car sounded like a school bus. I have a set of Porterfield R4-S to put on, haven't done it yet. It's not hard to change brake pads, why wouldn't you simply swap them before a track weekend? Your track pads will last a whole season this way. Also get some rotor temperature paint. It's like $10 and will tell you to what temp your heating your brakes. This will help you see your temp range. |
