Newbie question ... are there any issues swapping pads back and forth on a single set of rotors? Say going from OEM to Pagid RSL29 and back for dual track/street duty? What do you track junkies normally do?

 

I personally keep the same pads and generally run aggressive street pads or "mild" race pads. I don't like swapping them because:

1) I am fat and lazy
2) Every time you change them you have to bed them, which means that the old pad materials have to be sanded or scraped off the rotors.
3) If I notice brake degradation I usually slow down or stop the session. Generally I find that I can run 30 minute session at full speed no problem.

Having said all of this, let the arguments begin as there are good arguments on both sides of the fence.
