Lets step you up to a real race compound, not a "hey we claim this does it all but it really doesn't" compound.

Are you comfortable swapping pads for track days with street pads, or are you going to be leaving the race pads on permanently?
Ouch, I can only imagine the pain those Hawks have endured over the past weekend.

I am comfortable swapping pads. Here is my plan so far:

Order the sprint BBK.

Get some high end pads for the BBK.

Get some street pads that fit in the BBK calipers.

Get a spare set of blank rotors for the BBK.

Drive daily on street pads and blanks. Swap to J-hooks and race pads for track.
