Brakes for Driving Season
I'm getting ready to start up the new year of HPDEs and what not, and I'm looking for this year's brake solution. In the past, I've run Hawk HP + year round with stockers on back.
I'd like opinions on pads (track for performance, and street for quiet and still as safe as stock), as I think I'm going to run a separate set of rotors (at least up front). Last year I never had any problems with fade on VIR in HPDE 1s.

confused on what exactly you are asking. road course brake upgrades include fluid, pads, lines and rotors

I've taken care of the hoses and fluid. What I want to know is what can I get away with on my pad and rotor setup. I'm going to go with stock rotors, but I want a set of pads for the street and a set for the track. Should I suck it up and do a complete set of rotors and pads, or can I get away with the stock pads in the rear for both street and track?

i melted my stock pads on a 80 degree day. The best would be to have a street pad and a track pad...same deal with wheels and tires. it will cost more at first but save money in long run.

SPCBA: thanks...I know that's the right answer, I guess I wanted you to justify me being lazy. No such luck, huh!
