Default Pads for track ?

I am running for the moment OEM Porsche 350mm steel discs allround, they are 997TT discs with OEM Porsche pads at the front and OEM GT3 yellow at the back. Is there any pads I can fit for track use or do you think they can cope the heat of a trackday ( car will not be driven mega hard) . Any recommendations to get a bit more out of my brakes ?

I'm going to fit new Alcon discs this year ( I'm only 10 hours early saying that here ) and already have the yellows for the front. I think I'll take your advice and fit the blacks on the rear. Break fluid flush is due this year too. Thank you.

^this is a good idea, if you only do one thing for a first day flush the fluid and SRF is the stuff

Just remember that SRF and other high boiling point brake fluids are hygroscopic and need to be changed about every 6 months to avoid moisture build up.

Just bought some pfc01 pads for the 2013 season along with new slotted rotor. Heard good things about this setup for track.

I do not believe this to be true. All brake fluids are hygroscopic. SRF less so. The wet and dry boiling points are higher than any others listed. Water boils at 212, the only way SRF keeps a high wet boiling point is by not absorbing water.
