Brake Pad Upgrade
I attended a two day track event last year and my brakes got a little scary after a laps. I think I boiled my fluid at one point.
Anyway, i'm going again this year and am adding stainless steel brake lines and Motul fluid but i'd also like to add some new performance pads.
What is recommended? I've hear that if you go with too high performance the pads they can ruin the stock rotors and i'm not ready to replace them yet.
Thanks.

I have a call into StopTech customer service to see if they have front and rear performance street pads for the S3.
My understanding, and pardon my potential ignorance, is that the higher performance the pad, the harder it is and harder pads can ruin stock rotors. Correct me if i'm wrong.
