Track Day coming up, which brake pads do I get? (VIR South Track) A little back ground on the car/suspension/brakes: Mostly a weekend driver and car show/cruise in attendant. LS1 Camaro SS, DMS springs, adj. panhard rod, adj. LCA's, LCA relocation brackets, 2pt subframe connectors, C5 brake conversion, cross drilled/slotted rotors front/rear.
Not looking to set any speed records, just looking to have a good time and learn more about the handling characteristics of my car in a safe closed course environment. Right now the brake pads are OEM C5 pads and don't want to experience terrible terrible fade if I do put it into a couple corners at a good clip.
Thanks!

I have HPS pads on my CTS-V installed new rotors from O'Reilly's at the same time before hitting a couple local road courses. If you get aggressive, they will fade. But they do very well for what they are.
No issues at all with driving on the street and the rotors show no adverse signs.
