Otherwise go with real track pad such as PFC08, DS1.11 or Endless ME20(my choice). It is very important if you put the same brake pads front and rear. If brake pads are different in the rear, you'll get vibration on the axle that has more aggressive brake pad compound
I use DS2500 for daily and DS1.11 for track + sticky tires. Which to use depends on the track type and tire. DS2500 are probably fine for autox with street tires. DS2500 are not recommended for fast tracks and sticky tires as they fade w/ heavy use.

FYI. I found the DS1.11 to squeal too much for daily driving. Both r very dusty too.
This is something I have yet to consider, being new to tracking and all. Will pads with too much bite actually have adverse effects if the car is still on street tires? ABS kicking in much too easily? Lose of progressive feeling etc? I'm wondering if my 4-5 track sessions on MPSS will best be served sticking to the OEM pads.
