Simply put, I decimated them. Caliper seals were leaking, rotors and pads cracking/flaking...

That's impressive My carbotech pads only lasted 2.5 track days, I have to upgrade to a BBK asap.

I'm going up with HP+ stock pads and HPS for the stock rears (they don't make HP+ rears yet) and leaving the RS3s at home. Going up with the Prius tires since you guys are scaring me with the brakes! lol Any thoughts?

1st time on the track with this particular car. Hope to see you guys there.

From the sounds of it.. BBK is not an option but a necessity

Depending on how you drive, and what track it is, you should be fine for a little while. I had some weeping after two days at BW with a 100% stock car... YMMV

I really want a rear tower brace, but I need to be able to fit golf clubs in the back - do you think it will still be possible with the brace back there?

Put the RS3 and enjoy yourself, just make sure you switch to some better Brake Fluid like Motul.
