  1. Too much aggressive pads in the front / rear will cause MORE lockup (ABS).
  2. HOWEVER, the OEM pads will not stand up to track duty... even for ONE day.

I recommend Carbotech XP8 unless you're running R-Comp tires @ the track, but that's a different conversation.

My set-up is the stock Sport Akebonos, Stillen brake cooling ducts, Racing Brake 2 piece rotors, Ti brake pad heat shields, Z1 stainless brake lines, Motul 600 brake fluid, EBC Yellowstuff pads. The pads are done. Thinking on going with either the Carbotech 10/8 combo, the Pagids, or ????

The Yellowstuff pads are great for hard DDing. Good feel and bite. Some dust.

The OEM pads are great for anything but track duty.

They will hold up to a lot of heat and dust very little.
Stay OEM unless you're tracking it.

NOTE: OEM is ceramic
