I've always had good experiences with just oem pads and some ate before, because I never went past street tires.
I am very aware better brakes = faster lap times, I mainly just wanted to take the car as is on track just to see what it can do.
Maybe I'll run the stock pads for a few laps on practice session 1, then switch to the xp10s for the remainder of the day.

Street pads SUCK on the track. There is NO advantage to running street pads on the track. They fade quickly and will not last very long. Why tear up a perfectly good set of street pads? Just so you can experience the thrill of pad fade as you enter the a corner?
S2000 brakes are excellent with the right pad but OEM pads are completely incapable of handling threshold braking at track speed for more than a couple laps.
This is like saying I have a set of studded snow tires and I will run them for a few laps and then swap over to my RA-1s. If you have track pads, put them on.

What liner I have left in front look like fishnet stockings at this point. Dead sexy! 
I'm working on getting mine there. I got a head start on it by melting away parts of it while using the heat gun when rolling the fender!

Tech sheet says no hubcaps/center something. Do I need to pop out the H on the OEM wheels, or are they talking about those deals that go over your lug nuts in?
Brakes on, brakes bedded, going over everything else and getting a little excited.
No Robb, not like that
