i run high temp brake fluid, carbotech xp12 brake pads in the front and xp10 in the rear and toyo proxy 888's on my factory wheels in 235/265. I love it, tracks well for a heavy 4 door. you will burn through front pads on courses with heavy braking from high speed

Same pads, same experience. Don't ever expect to keep up with Corvettes driven by equal drivers but for a heavy sedan it's a lot of fun. Front pads are at least 4x rear pads for wear. OEM rotors are going to crack on a hard course, but they'll give you four weekends before they are beyond limits. Raybestos rotors are made by Brembo, and there's another off brand also made by Brembo that's even cheaper, so it's not horribly expensive to track if you don't mind the $300 for front pads and the 5 mpg you'll see on the track.

M3EATR- Yes but again, my question wasn't for the ISF to be at a track all the time. I wanted to make sure it is capable.

lobuxracer- I cracked both stoptech front rotors on my Z06 after 6 sessions. It happens to just about everyone. Heat and friction will breakdown just about anything. The pad material will also deteriorate the rotors quickly. I found that carbotechs are less aggressive compared to some other brands such as hawk DTC70's.
