Best brake pads for autocross / track usage?

[bikerbob951]

Hey guys, time to replace the brake pads soon, I've been using HP pads (not sure what model, previous owner installed them) and they have decent stopping power but they squeal like a school bus from the 80's. I do about 30% autocross, 50% weekend aggressive driving, 20% track use. I've done the A8/TT upgrade, SS lines and high-temp fluid, curious to see what the popular opinion is for pads that meet my usage.

I'm going with A8/TT set up as well probably going to use Centric ceramic pads and Centric rotors (same manufacturer as StopTech). They are like $13 per axle for the pads and $55 for both front rotors.

Definitely recomend the A8/TT setup, I saw a difference in performance. Pro tip: if you haven't looked into it yet, TT carriers go for a foolish amount of money, folks have figured out that they are sought after. Find someone on CL parting a TT (typically unaware that this is a high demand item), I got my carriers for $30 shipped instead of $175 each.

To add to the brake pad question I posted, I was looking through this brake upgrade thread and found that the Boxster 986 BBK setup uses the same rotor and carrier, and proper track pads are available for these calipers through ECS! For the stock B5 A4 caliper, Hawk only seems to produce a few lower end options, but for these Porsche calipers, all the compounds are available.

Can anyone that has done a similar upgrade with aggressive usage in mind chime in?

I've got EBC Yellowstuffs on all four corners of my b5.5 with the a8 BBK conversion. I highly recommend, not as noisy as Hawk HP plus, but are quite dusty though (no ABS lock up at finish ftw)
