Switching between race pads and stock pads
Going to purchase either Endless or Pagid race pads but just want to use them on track. Is it bad for stock rotors to keep switching from race to stock pads???

+1. I used Hawk HT-10's for the track and OEM pads for the street. No problems at all. With that being said, next season I'm going to use a dedicated pad/rotor setup for the track and one for the street. |

If you're willing to change to track pads the night before and change back to streets before you drive home, it'll be easier.
You're essentially allowing the new pad sufficient time to scrape off the other pad's material on the rotor (you may have vibration changing from track to street, it'll go away), doesn't work well with all pad combinations but these have worked well for me: OEM to PFC01 and back HPS to PFC01 and back HPS to DCT70 and back And that's assuming you bed in the track pads correctly |
