Default Problem is, getting them here (NJ) in time, and as per my post (link) and responses, I think

I should go with just stock pads....Clair parts is gonna call me back with price, else, I'll stick with the stuff (OEM) that Tire Racks sells...

S4Lee is/was nice enough to provide me a set of Mintex Red for the ride home, if needed.....as I do want to get home safe with Neville leading as Cop catcher....;-)

Default Correct.....but...

Mintex Red are teh svck at the track and I can, as per my post, borrow a set if needed, from a local guy, seen my limited amount of track driving, I might just order the stockers from Clairparts, and see what they come up with, Stupid, I was in Boston this weekend, should've stopped by....I am teh svck at plannign too...
