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.
