Brake Pad Advice?

My Prius feels fast to me too until I get into my Z.

Light braking you get more. Cold or hot you will get it

Well the one thing that's clear from this thread (and really, was already clear from other threads) is that the Carbotech pads are everyone's track favorite for sure on the Z, and that I should probably start out at 8/8 given my current situation, and re-evaluate later as I upgrade tires/skill

.

It's really just how "streetable" those are that opens up all the other questions, I guess because that's kind of subjective. If I don't hate the noise I'll just leave them on full time, and if not I'll spring for CT's own "Bobcat" street pads to use between track weekends since they'll be rotor-compatible.

Unless someone comes up with some other creative and divergent opinion here. Thanks for the input guys
