Ok, the answers!

For pad shapes:

1001 in front (same as Subaru STI if you are searching different sites/manufacturers)
592 in rear (same as 92-02 Viper)

Stock pads were Pagid 4-2-1 – BLACK's

I put Axxis Ultmiates on the front & some Pagid 4-2-1's on the rears because the shop had them in stock and I needed them ASAP.

I demolished my latest set of stock pads in just a 3-day weekend at the track. I chatted up a race mechanic at the track who looked over my car and suggested upgrading to a better pad for the track. Interestingly, the first company he suggested trying was Carbotech (also mentioned Pagid).

I called Carbotech and ended up speaking to Danny. I am going to try XP8 pads which should survive better at intermediate/advanced level on track but still be driveable on street. I will have pads installed next week and will be on the track at NJ Motorsports again the 17-19th so can give some feedback after that.

P.S. - the 1st N24 to come to the US at was NJ Motorsports Thursday while I was there for a track day with the AMOC and Viper clubs - absolutely sick car!

Can't help with your question but I did run both the XP8 & XP10 pads and was pleased with them. I used for track and street - didn't bother swapping out for track days.
