thanks for the tip Steve!
i will stick with the street pads and move to EBC Red maybe when they go out. at that time i would prob also need new rotors.

do the EBC Reds make a lot of dust and noise on regular street driving?

track day is in July so still a while to go but trying to get prepared because i will be in Mexico with work for a month soon.

will have my GoPro mounted and everything when the day comes so you guys can see what an amateur i am

I would use 50% as the metric for when to replace your street pads if you are going to take them on the track. Once they get under 50% the rate of wear goes up very fast and you could find yourself out of brakes while at an event.

Not really, sometimes they will squeal a very little bit but it is minor and usually getting on it a little will solve it. dust.... since I mostly drive on the track, my wheels usually look like this:



Then I wash them and they stay pretty clean until the next time...


I don't recall whether it was bad on street driving but I don't think it was.
