As far as brake pads, do you guys recommend I go back to OEM pads or some kind of semi-race pad? What pads do you recommend? I don't mind brake dust, however I don't want anything that will permanently stain my wheels (baked in dust).

i prefer Cobalt gt sports. they do nto require much heat, and have incredible stopping power/modulation. as far as dust, they do dust up good.... but, if you clean them, you will be ok. driving in rain while the wheels are dusted seems to accelerate the baking process. well, from what i remember, as i do not care what the wheels look like anymore....

So if I go w/ OEM pads & switch over to semi-race pads for track days, would I have to re-bed the brakes? Would switching over to race pads on track days w/ the same rotor lead me to the same problem?
