Thanks for the input. I have used the ST street performance (OEM) on the track before and they handle the heat quite well. My only concern is that they only lasted 3 weekends. On the plus side, they are quiet and I would not have to change pads just for the track.

This ^^.
Get front and rear and be fully equipped. 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!

I got about 20 days out of 1st set of rotors.I changed out the rotors due to heat checking and they were still above the wear limits.I usually keep the RS 14/29's in on the street with no great issues.

Thanks again! 20 track days or about 10 track weekends sounds pretty good. And you kept using track pads on the street. I have much to think about.

i run my track pads all the time also with not much issue. bigjae chimed in on this subject for me before and what he said made sense. how can the front offer any more braking power in the 380 kit if its still paired with the same rear set up in their bbk? if it did it would screw up the bias. he has the kit you do and would have went st-40 all the way around to save money initially and at time for pad changes and rotors.

True, I was making stock look good myself. Now I just need better brakes. Too many issues with small OEM pads.

Regarding the brake bias issue, the short answer is that it screws up bias somewhat to have 380 front and stock rear, but that the difference is not enough to matter unless you trail brake a lot. Straight line braking is dramatically front biased anyway, so unless you trail brake a lot it won't matter. I trail brake some, when I need rotation in a decreasing radius turn for example, and 380 front/stock rear didn't bother me.

Thanks bryan. That is Pacific Raceways my home track. I went to a new track to me and the area yesterday and will post video later today. Probably driving won't look as nice as it was my first day.

if you are refering to my video the track is not that great of condition as far as the surface. the worst portion the rear corner with the stage lanes lines on it for drag strip is getting repaved in the next month so next time i go after the 16th it will be a lot better. im guessing a second will be had just on that!
