From what I've seen about the brake pads in the 2013/2014 GT track package, they're something of a mystery. There's some indication that they're different than the pads that come with the Brembo brake package, but I've not seen anything terribly specific.
Many messages refer to them as "performance friction" pads, but whether that means they're manufactured by Performance Friction or that the designation is just a designation is difficult to ascertain.
And so I have to ask a couple of simple questions about them:
I'm going to be switching to the Stoptech pads since they appear to be excellent on both street and track (1300 degree max temperature means they should hold up reasonably well as long as I stick with street tires, which is my intention), but it would be nice to know if these pads can act as fallbacks.

And so I have to ask a couple of simple questions about them:
- Who makes them, and what is the manufacturer's designation for them?
- What kind of compound are they? What temperature range?
- How well do they hold up on the track (be sure to specify the tires you were using if you answer this question)?
