If you are taking a school, you won't be super hard on your brakes, unless you show some mad skillz!

I've never had too much fade at any track that I've run with Porterfield R4-S pads (front, stock in rear) and fresh Motul 600 fluid. Granted I try to keep my speed in the turns, but even with hard braking, I only experienced ever so slight fade at Laguna Seca later this year when I was running long, 30 minute sessions near the end of the day (I'm sure my old stock brake lines where a little expanded too) and pushing my limits to run with a few Viper GTSs.

If you are a good track driver, just get some Hawk Blues or Porterfield R4 (not S) pads for the track only, as they are a little harsh and whiney on the street. The Porterfield R4 is superior to the R4-S in track application, but won't double up as a daily driver pad like the R4-S can.

Good luck.
