Hi,

For the Track, it's a worthwhile upgrade, but unless Tracking the car regularly, it's a waste of money.

A Street Car doesn't have the constant ON/OFF of the brakes that a Track car does. There's plenty of time between Brake applications to cool things off.

The pads will wear more quickly and generally cost more (though not always).

Add to this that you adjust to your brakes, for better brakes, you will apply them later which essentially negates the miniscule distance advantage they have.

You could gain all the advantages and save the weight and expense by going to either a more agressive pad, or adding insulators to the pads you have. Then get a Paint Kit and paint them Red if you want the look...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
