Why do our brakes suck?

Todd what are the meanest pads I could put on your 13" kit for track only? Something that would last at Road America.

Narrow bodied sixes are a bit more limited in choice for track duty pads:
Poly A, B, and H are the choices.

A will eat rotors if you run them too cold.
B ramps up well and is 'standard' in my Lightning kit even.
H works well when hot and is not as abbraisve as A

Keep in mind that all these are 16mm pads. Meaning life is not as long as those calipers with 20mm pads found on other kits.

What would be your equivalent to a Hawk Blue or Hawk HT10 up front.
Plus what would I use on the backs to keep up. Right now Road America eats 1 set of rears per day of either hawk HPS or stockers.
 
No HPS is as good as it gets for the MM from Hawk. If I went to your 13" rear kit what is available?

Big time fade!

That doesn't look good at all!

The rear kit would allow you all the pads on the pad page.
E would probably hold up well. Hardcore, jump to C maybe but might prove too much bite.

Why are you running steelies? I've been thinking about changing to steelies 'cause, oddly enough, I actually like how they look (and I've never found ANY black rims that fit that I liked) Now, I have a performance reason to change to steelies as well. Steelies only come in 17", correct? No 18" steelies, right?

It snows here. Steelies are 16"
