I found out that the 9x to 03 C5 Vette pads fit perfectly in my calipers, so that opens up a whole new world of options when it comes to pads. PS… at no point was I trying to say any driving style was going to work well with my stock pads. And I realize the HPS’s aren’t real track pads either, but I needed some kind of pad so I could drive to work on Monday, and the HPS’s seemed like a much better idea than the shitty Autozone duralasts. I’m still having trouble believing braking harder for a shorter period of time is easier on brakes, based both on my understanding of physics and my experience at TMP in the Fiero and Dun **n** ville in the GTO. When braking harder later I was losing my brakes. When braking lighter but earlier, I was having no issue with 20 minute sessions. :shrug: Maybe I was trading off less heat for more wear, which I could understand. Regardless, before I hit another track day there will be at minimum some real track pads, and better fluid. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/nyspeed-track-day-1-friday-june-15th-2007/26320)._
