I say if you really do a lot of track than it is a worthwhile investment.
Chris, have you talked to our brake manager (AP-Chris on the boards here) about some track-dedicated pad options? I'm under the impression if you're pushing them that hard, we have some almost-NASCAR type pads that should take everything you can throw at them. If you're not melting seals and the like, you might just need a heartier pad.

And am I missing some in-car video of your track sessions or what?? You must be wringing the crap out of your Z! LOL!
