You really don't want to run any street pad on track. You might be fine with a Ferodo DS2500 on track while you're still learning and going slow, but if you are going to do any real track work you need to be looking at real track pads.

That said, Ferodo DS2500 (for the street) all the way.

Dedicated track pads are a must... if ur willing to spend the money and time to install a turbo... then slapping some track pads on every so often shouldn't be an issue..

Base model was only sold from 2009-2011 and was discontinued in 2012. It came with 18" rims and 4 piston calipers iirc

Well I need to replace my street pads first so I want to get something a little sturdier than whatever came with it stock. I'm not going to drive around with track pads on it. Also, I'm supercharged not turbo'd.

I won't see the track until next spring and even then I'm gonna need lessons.

I DD'd my Z with Carbotech XP8's on it for over a year without any issues. The brake dust would probably bother you a lot more than it bothered me though.

I second the DS2500 as a great street pad, along with the idea of a set of pads specifically for track use.

Yes it was. The sport became the base. The base used to start at ~28k. The sport was 31. Now the "base" is 32k (old sport).

It used to go: Base, sport, touring, nismo
Now it goes: Base, roadster, nismo
