With any more aggressive pad you are more likely to hit it, the XP10's and XP12's are particularly aggressive and the ABS system has a hard time modulating.

Track pads suck on the street, I've done it on occasion if I have two events within a week or two of each other but you'll pay with nasty brake dust all over the car (not just the wheels). Track pad dust is even nastier than regular brake pad dust as the pads are typically a semi-metallic compound, once the brake dust gets wet it oxidizes and bonds itself to the paint requiring a very thorough hand wash to remove.

For the street just use the stock pads, they do fine. Pad bite has almost nothing to do with stopping distance.
