Yes Prof, track pads aren't great on the street as it can't get up to temp. But something "mild" like cool wily is actually bloody good on the road! When I get my car back you can give it a go. It's only the really hardcore race pads that makes a difference. THose are the once you have to change and use on the track. For example, Taka told me that he has a set of 300-900 degrees (celcius) pads that obviously he isn't going to try to use on the street!
Btw, I don't know if anyone of you have ever measured the temp. The first set of track pads I used has an in-built temp gauge in that in changes colour over a certain temp. It got over 600 degrees celcius but could be much higher than that as it only measures to that. So it begs the question (especially in light of the cracking pistons - if it's due to temp), do we need brake ducts?
