Wow, I was afraid that's what the stock pads would possibly look like after a really hard day. The grease definitely played it's part there. I can only imagine 5 hard 20min sessions per day after a full two day track event.
I'm sure the stock pads are going to hold up very well for aggressive street use and a lot of miles.

In any case, I've decided to bite the bullet and take one for the team here. I ordered the Power Stop Track Day pads, 1405 front and 1718 rear sizes. Worst case they're throw-aways and it's not much money down the drain. I've driven on everything from Wilwood H, E, and A, to Carbotech and G-Loc, to Raybestos, Hawk, Ferodo, and PFC's. In a previous life I developed a BBK for the R53 MINI Cooper platform that's still in production, so I'd like to think I have a wide enough perspective to give helpful feedback.

Awesome! You seem to have a wide perspective on the different brands. Very curious to hear your thoughts after some track time with them.
