There are a number of threads on bake pads for the street and track. I would make sure that you check all the braking to due list before jumping to a real aggressive track only pad. I run x10 front and x8 rear. My Z weighs 3450 with a full tank of fuel and me in it. I have brake cooling ducts, ss brake lines, z1 two piece rotors and use Castro SRF racing brake fluid. I have yet to have any brake fade. I am not the fastest in the advanced group but I am not the slowest. Having an over aggressive pad can lead to ice mode which is every bit as scary as having no brake or fade and they will eat your rotors in one or two track days. I'm not saying x12/10 or 12/8 will not work for you just that when all the boxes are checked with the right upgrades it may not be necessary.
