Brakes often distinguish which cars can take the track and which can't. I've seen plenty of people show up at DE events with tons of performance mods, big wheels and sticky tires, only have their brakes fade to nothing in two laps, while my crappy little 914 or my M3 kept going all day. I've had good experiences with Metal Master pads on my 914, and stock BMW pads on my M3. Expect that with any pad, DE events will result in very signficant wear.

I put MetalMasters on the fronts recently, and they are softer than the OEMs I had. Maybe I need to bleed the lines? They just seem really soft.
