Just starting to fade them, but I was smearing the pad on the rotors and generally wasting a lot of money.

Agree with what they said about getting a BBK if you're tracking often. I recently bought one and my only regret was not buying one two years ago. Fade is no longer an issue, pads and rotors are lasting longer, and pads are 1/2 the price. Over time, you will save money if you track frequently. There are a number of thoroughly-tested BBK options out there for this car (AP racing, stoptech, brembo, RR racing, etc.) - I would definitely consider them.
