Non-Sport Track Pads

Guys I didn't see much on track pads for non-sport, and all I see so far on the eRetail sites that look aggressive are Hawks. Is there a hardcore track

You can probably get Carbotech to make some for the non-sport calipers. I would give them a call. I believe they usually just want an example of the existing pads.

Thanks Sig. I would love to have those but I need some for Feb 4th, anyone know a stock non-sport pad that is good for tracking?

I would contact Fontana Nissan. Looks like they have a decent selection and they are a forum sponsor:

I've been running EBC Yellowstuff pads on my base Z at the track with good results. I'm planning on replacing the base brakes with the Nissan BBK but, the EBCs' are working for me for now. I picked them up at autoanything.com, if you call in and place your order they will give you 10% off and you get free shipping on orders over $100. I paid $204 shipped for front and rear.

Im confused, carbotechs website is listing the ax6 and xp8 for the nonsport brake but I cannot find any dealers that sell them. Can I just order them from carbotech?
