Best Racing Brake Pads, Rotors for 2009 370Z Sport

If you can't swap pads, there is no solution that will give you track-worthy performance and conform to your requirements above. If you are experienced on the track, even if you don't track often, you should probably suck it up for noise/dust during DD use and go with a track oriented pad. Although a good compromise might be to change pads at your shop a few days before the track event and then swap back after the event.

In my experience, most track pads require heat in them for them to work properly. When I have used my track pads driving to/from the track, I experience much longer stopping distances. I would caution against using a track pad for DD.

You're absolutely right. I didn't mean an all out racing pad for DD. But if you have to pick one pad for both track and DD, I would pick one that leans more towards track use. Your tolerances are a lot tighter at the track when pushing the car, and I'd rather not put my car into the wall because of brake fade. It is a balance that each individual has to consider based on their ability at the track and the amount of track time vs street time.

Totally depends on the car and the pad.

My RC6 are a pretty hardcore track pad but they bite just as hard when cold as I could possibly want.

That said, I've never driven with them in the winter, so I really don't know how they'd be below 60-70 degrees for the first few stops, YMMV.
