The best thing you can do is swap them before and after track days. Get some Carbotech XP10 front, XP8 rear to avoid as much icemode as possible. Keep your stock pads, which are great for the street.

This is very much true. The only thing you could do is to cope with the track bite. Unfortunately, it's not as easy with the sport package brake kit has it has more surface area, piston count, and clamp force than "let's say a civic."

I mean, you're driving a pretty heavy car, so more braking power the better. I drive a Celica and its 2500 weight can do with 1 piston brake system.
