The problem is that I'm using the car as a daily also, so dedicated track pads are not a (convenient) option for me. I'm only going at ~10 trackdays per year but I'm really pushing the limits (I had quite a few "grass encounters"  )
So yellowstuff with their 950C temperature rating seemed like a good compromise 
Slotted StopTech rotors are just a bit more expensive than Centric (like 50$ for all 4) but I still need to find pads that can be used on the road as well.
Hawk DTC60 I think are track only. |
You can totally street on DTC-60 and any other race pad as well I bet. You get less life out of them of course, as you basically "unbed" them at the street since they dont get hot enough, but they brake just fine, dont believe magic voodo that race pads dont work when cold, if DTC-60s can brake at freezing temps in Canada, they can work anywhere.
