Motul 600 and definitely 660 are also overkill for hard street and even AX
ATP-200 is just fine, even for entry level tracking.

Motul 600/660 tend to absorb water faster than ATP-200

for tracking SRF and Motul are good choices, for even hard street/canyon/mountain driving ATP-200 is more than fine.

Don't get "track" pads if you are primarily street driving. They generally require getting hot to really grip and many squeal like a stuck pig.

Another good choice for street/aggressive driving and even some tracking are EBC Reds

Great tip..! As you may have a wake up call if you suddenly have to stop and your track pads are cold..

I was referring to a pad that is a combo of street & track, not a pure track pad. They're a combination of street pad and a track pad. You get some of the dust and noise of a track pad and instant bite when cold of a street pad. Check out StopTech Street Sport pads from TireRack.

ATE-200 brake fluid would be fine. I suggested some higher performance options since he will be driving in canyons. Didn't want him to boil his fluid and have his pedal go to the floor. Not as much runoff in the canyon vs the track.

I knew that's whet you meant on the pads, someone else may not have EBC Reds are a really good trackable street pad. I ran them for a while at the track with good results. It wasn't until I got more advanced that I changed to an even higher heat pad

IMHO, your not going to boil ATE-200 on the street, canyons or mountain roads, probably not at the track until you get more advanced either
