Suggestions for a Stoptech rotor friendly street/track pad
I'm looking at the Stoptech site and would like a suggestion for a rotor friendly pad for street and track use.
If I expect to do around 5 track/auto-x events a year am I better off with a dedicated track pad or is a combo pad like the Ferodo DS2500 adequate?
TIA for any suggestions.

There's no pad that will do both well. I have Porterfield R4S pads and they're supposed
to be one of those good all-around pads but fade on the track is unavoidable. Any good track pad needs heat to work but then that makes them not so good for the street. I like my Porterfields for a street pad and aggressive driving but I am getting race compound pads for my next track event. Our cars are so heavy, I can't really see any alternative. They work the brakes so hard...

I did give it some more thought and I guess a dedicated street and track pad set is best
So any suggestions for a track pad?
I'm thinking a Porterfield, Pagid Orange or Ferodo DS2500 that I'll just swap on when I get to the event.

If your doing 5 events a year I would get dedicated pads.
I run Pagid RS 4-2 Blue on the street and Pagid RS 14 Black on the track. It only takes 20 mins to swap out. I haven't tried the new RS 5 Blue but the older RS 4-4 Orange didn't last long enough.<ul><li><a href="http://www.braketechnology.com/racecharacteristics.html">http://www.braketechnology.com/racecharacteristics.html</a</li></ul>

no such thing. I run Axxis Ultimates on the street and Pagid Orange RS 4-4/Hawk HT10 on the track
with Hawk HP+ out back.
