I *hope* there's a way not to resort to track-only pads. I'd be interested to know if the Carbotechs work better.

The pads aren't that hard to swap out. It might be something I'd not want to do at PIR in July.
After Dave Schardt drove my car at Mid-Ohio for an oil temp limited amount of time he was of the opinion that it needed a set of PFC/Hawk/...track pads. The calipers might hold up. The dust seals on the pistons will most likely be toast in short order.
I could find Carbotech XP10's for the front but there were no XP8's for the rear. Seems the rear blanks are a bit hard to come by.
Agree, a caliper upgrade with more swept area would be a nice upgrade. It would definitely help in the fade department. A wider caliper with a bit more pad wouldn't hurt either.
