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.

I appreciate the pointers, you're definitely right. There's a lot more to the equation than just the pads. The reason I put up a thread was to get more opinions and insight from drivers due to my car being a G and packing an additional 300lbs over the z34.
I'll do some more reading before I place an order. wouldn't want to buy track pads twice lol.
