There's no pad that is capable for solid track duty, and is also quiet and low dust on the street.

You can drive some race pads on the street but they squeal like crazy and dust up your rims something awful with a nasty dust that is hard to clean---especially if it gets wet, and the cold pads are hard on your cold rotors.

A "hybrid" pad that is quiet on the street and doesn't make much dust just won't serve you well during hard track driving.

You just need to swap. Your front Stoptechs should make that process easier.

Welcome to the downward spiral we call motorsport!
