If you are going to use track pads, I recommend endurance pads like the Pagid yellows or PFC 06 (or 08). Shouldn't be any problems swapping back and forth though each pad will have to put down a transfer layer so ultimate braking performance will be delayed until that is done. I use PFC pads for street and track (z-rated on street, 06's on track). That way I don't have the transfer layer issue nearly as bad when swapping back and forth. Stock pads are crap after a few hard stops, so you really should put in the track pads for HPDEs.
