Track Pads

I finally got my license to run my 2006 MCS on the big track. Car is making around 250 HP. I have Wilwood 4 piston calipers on the front that came with the car when I bought it, and new Wilwood rotors. I tried running EBC Yellow pads my last time out, they were ok, but I think I can find better. What would you experienced track guys recommend for dedicated road course track use? Hawk? G-Loc? are the Wilwood pad options any good? Educate me.

Following. I have EBC yellows right now and I agree, they're ok, but I still felt like I had to be careful not to over cook them. I'm adding brake ducts, so that should help. I'm thinking of trying ebc orange or hawk blue next.

EBC Yellow is far from their 'racing' pad ....

you may want blue or RP series ....

You may want to PM Eddie07S, an engineer and track addict.
