33539, RE: Best pads for DD/track Posted by nub, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
I use Hawk HPS for DD but they fade too bad at the track if you're doing anything more than autocross.
I love Axxis metal master (xbg) pads for daily driving, but they dust a LOT and sometimes leave molten slag on the inside of the wheel. Upside is if you do canyon driving at night you can spit fire out of your wheels on a good run.
I'd strongly suggest having a track set and a DD set even if you only go once a year. That way if you damage or wear out a pad at the track you have your daily driver spares on hand. I always just swap out my pads during tech inspection beforehand and drive to the track with the race pads on to bed them in a little.
It's VERY DANGEROUS to daily drive on the streets on cold race pads. I'd rather have a soft daily pad that works when cold than a DD/race hybrid any day.
