OEM are useless at the track, no matter the skill level IMO. They'll be good for a grand total of 5 laps where you can get a pretty good time, sure. But THEN they'll be heat soaked and you'll have to spend laps cooling or hit the pits. Then they'll be good for another 2-3 laps until you have lots of fun with juddering brakes and lower performance. Does not make for a very confident driver! I had to slow down & then cut the day short because I didn't think the car could sto
This was on a moderately brake heavy track with one big straight and one smaller straight. There was only 3 or 4 heavy braking zones, the rest was momentum based. I was pretty disappointed with the OEM pads on track.
Im starting to think some pagid yellows are the way to go. Even if you only track a few times a year, they'll last many seasons. Apparently you can even run them on the street and the noise isn't bad at all.
