Interesting to hear that more aggressive pads are liked on the 370Z for autox. One of my theories (completely from the left-field region of my strange mind) is that aggressive pads might not always play nicely with street ABS systems. Stopping distances may increase, and/or ice mode may become more common. In my experience, stock RX-8 brake pads work better than one aftermarket pad tried (I wish I remembered which one) in the autocross setting. Also, both of my 300ZX NAs on stock pads stopped in shorter distances than my 350Z does on StopTech pads -- and the Z32s were on narrower tires.

It's something I'd really like to learn more about, but I don't know where to find authoritative information on the subject.
