Brake Rotors and pads

[donv]

I bought a set of Pagid pads after my first DE event as I had some pad staining from the OEM pads showing on the rotors (can't tell you why it happened, but it looked like someone had taken a kid's ink stamp in the shape of the brake pad and made a few marks on the rotor with it - I did my cool-down laps, but this showed up at the end of my last run anyway). Eventually these marks wore off of the discs and the brakes are still performing fine, so I've not had a chance/reason to install the new pads yet.

Pagid "Blue" pads are supposed to improve the stopping performance, while still being "streetable", and also to decrease dust production. I may install them this year as part of my annual oil change and end of season pre-storage prep - I finally have the power brake bleeder in order to do the work, including a change over to the Ate Super Blue racing fluid (higher boiling point).
