That and it is not safe to be running track pads on the street. Track pads generally do not stop very well when cold (at times some are worse than OME pads when cold) and need to be warmed up. If you're worried about safety, running track pads on the street is not a good idea.
this is an interesting comment because this is precisely what i was told by a brake specialist when i discussed the gist of this thread with him. i told him nothing and he diagnosed it to the pad. :smile: perhaps a good thing for most people here. still, is it fair to say then that a PnP pad for both street and track - such a thing does not exist?? with brakes, i don't care how much i spend but i want to know i have the best there is and that is not as easy question to answer without using the irritating excuse of "it depends how you want to use it...."
