With any street/track pads, when they do start to fade, just back off on your braking by lifting off the gas way early and coasting a few seconds before you brake - the opposite of late braking, so your top speed becomes 110 instead of 130. You can do that every other lap and be fine.

That's interesting. Do you know what the stock pads are rated up to? Everything I've read so far states that Ferodo is better than Hawk.
