going to track, recommendations for brake pads?
Hello!
I have the 2014 m5 comp all stock. going to laguna at monterey. I know our cars are heavy but capable. I plan to go to track maybe 1x/ a year. rest is street use. I don't plan to go crazy on this car on the track. I plan to change brake fluid to high temp. Can I stay stock pads for now and see how it goes or change out pads? Any recommendations for track and street? Thank you in advance |

I did a two day event on stock pads. It's fine as long as you aren't beating on them super hard. Probably will need to lift some on any longer straights.
I'd highly suggest doing what I did and have separate pads for just the front. I run D2500s all around on the street and swap the fronts to DS1.11s for track. The fronts take a significant majority of the heat and are easy/quick to swap out. Key is to pick a pad line that allows that. Like Ferodo, Carbotech can, not sure on Pagid or some of the others.
