I've tried cool carbons and wasn't happy with how long it took to break them. In addition, I missed the initial bite of OEM's. That combined with the longer brake pedal throw required for the same level of braking, my heel-toe techniques were harder to pull off during heavy braking at the track (I had gotten used to OEM brake pad pedal throw).
In my opinion, I think that there is no such thing as a good compromise between a daily driving and a HPDE brake pad. Either get a set of brake pads to swap out for track days (maybe red stuff or stoptech? Those are on my list...), or consider a big brake kit. Otherwise, some good high-temp brake fluid, stainless steel brake lines, and OEM brake pads are probably the best option for finding a solution that lets you use drive hard.
This lack of good compromise solutions for track vs. daily driving has really made me think about how in the long run, I should just consider getting a dedicated weekend/track car!
