The Brembo/Hawk HPS setup I have now is fine for the street, though I think I've outgrown it for track day use. As I've read from a handful of people, their effectiveness drops off when they get hot requiring increased pedal pressure/travel. I experienced this at my last HPDE and had to start backing up my brake points as it got later in the sessions.
From what I've gathered in my reading this far, that may have also been a function of the use of stock DOT4 fluid (despite being fresh), the old stock lines, a missing duct, or some combination of all of those.
To eliminate some of those potential culprits I will be replacing the stock DOT4 fluid with either ATE 200 or Motul RBF 600 (I bought both), installing Turner stainless lines and replacing the missing brake duct on the passenger side. I'm running an E32 booster with a 25mm MC.
With all that in mind, what are some current recommendations for pads and rotors to be used in an HPDE/track day setting? I'm not opposed to a dedicated setup for the track, although since I will be driving the car to the event, ideally I would like to be able to install whatever I'll be using before making the trip (which is 98% interstate).
