Great advice! Thanks. I haven't found a dealer for Carbotech. Z1 Motorsports has the AMS Carbon-Ceramic pads which they claim make a good choice for DD and track use. Any experience with them?

I am getting a floor jack, jack stands, and impact wrench so I can switch out pads once my skill improves to the point that I can use high performance brakes. Short of switching out every time (we have weekday track afternoons here), it would be nice to have my DD brakes also perform well on the track.

My thought is that for a Tuesday afternoon track session I could use a less dusty and aggressive set of pads (like the AMS if they are good), and then for full track days, swap out to Carbotech.

Make sense?
