Default Is there any concensus on best pad for stock rotors/calipers/wheels?

Just looking to upgrade my brake pads and fluid for my next track event. Is there a good pad for both street and track use, or should I just bag that idea and swap out to a differnt brake pad for the track days? If so, what pad do you recommend for the track with stock calipers and rotors?

From what I've gleamed off the archives most of the pads such as Mintex, EBC, Porterfield work better than stock for the street, but get worn out pretty quick out on the track. Right now I'm leaning towards EBC Redstuff, but am concerned about it's use for my daily driving.

Thanks,

About as much consensus as there is about which is the best chip

That's the impression I got talking to a few folks at the track last week. Switching soon.

Default On my G60 4kq with ATB SBlue I can't get the pup to fade...

In street driving. On the track I run ducts. Mediocre brakes are saved with this pad, it wears superbly, occasional squeeks, and a need to wash occasionally are it.
