I have been debating whether it would, and if not whether I should bring an extra set or just go ahead and change them out b4 I go..

and then there's always the question of what pad to use when I'm still new but plan on doing at least 6-8 more events this year. Should I get something like the StopTech SPs or go for a full on race pad?
Get an extra set. I run pagids now though I didn't have issues with OEM pads for light track duty, but that could be track dependent.
