Thanks! 3-5 weekends sounds about right. I will most likely get a set of dedicated track pads so I can get the most out of my r-comps.

Thanks for the input! I will ck with Richard and see what his prices are on these.

Thanks for the input! How is the rotor wear with the RS14/29 combo?

As for pads, the ST Street Performance are great for DD. Since the pad changing is such a cinch, go ahead and get dedicated track pads, you will appreciate the braking performance. No "street" pads can really come close. I've been using Pagid Yellow (RS29), love em, but will start this season trying out the ST racing compound (SR34).

Happy braking!
Thanks! Yes, I decided on the 380/355 kit. A friend has been using the StopTech SR34 and likes them as much as PF01s and Pagid yellow. He seems to think for the price these are the best pads.
