I mean, I can keep the HPS for street use, but I do plan to track, and who knows about Zdayz yet? I may go conservative, I may blast the twisties. The fun is not having to decide until I'm down there, ya kno?

I'm willing to throw noisy man brakes on the car for better performance down where it matters.

I'd reckon ZDayZ would be no problem for the HPS. Track, yes, you def need an upgrade.

I just know for me considering I set some Ferodos on fire last year, I need more than HPS.

I'd go with the proper pads right off the bat, merely because if you go out w/ HPS pads for your first time, and then go out w/ something like Carbotech's your second time, your brake feel will be different. I'd try to remain consistant.
