Yeah I've always made sure to do that, with the three red dots on the ventQuote:

I said screw it and didn't use any protection on the screw driver since I've exhausted my options. Marked the pain a bit, but only under the emblem. So no worries. Used a combo screw driver/trim removal tool.Quote:

Thanks Hornung, might havw to use this next time! :thumbupQuote:

Instant bite or high temp bite?Quote:

Yeah not kidding, expensive.
I want good initial bite DD that will hold up well on the track. I'm not running the 24 hrs of LeMans (yet) so probably not a fully dedicated track pad yet needed but want something better than what the Stoptechs are giving me now as it don't plan on changing pads every time I go out.

A pad made of out unobtainium would work best! Any dual purpose pad will sacrifice initial cold bite to obtain a higher temperature range of operation. The top edge of the range will be lower than a full-fledge track pad and be a medium track pad. Stoptech Streets are probably your best bet unfortunately. If you want something more, I highly suggest a street and track pad setup. I personally like this method because it lets me double check the car for inspection while I install the track pad/rotors.Quote:

Hawk HPS high performance street pads have low dust, low noise, and low rotor wear. Slightly higher in friction level than Hawk Ceramic pads with a similar MOT of around 750 degrees F. Not recommended for track use, as their friction level falls off rapidly when the MOT is exceeded.

Hawk HP PLUS high performance street pads have moderate dust, moderate rotor wear, very high initial bite and a Maximum Operating Temperature (MOT) slightly higher than Hawk HPS. They tend to be noisy, often squealing under light braking, although proper bedding can help. Ideal for autocross and may be used for track days on lower horsepower cars. Not recommended for heavy track use, as friction level falls off rapidly when MOT is exceeded.
I looked into the HP+ but heard horror stories of ears bleeding on the streets when braking.
I've had cool carbons before on my 1er and loved um so will probably go that route again. The stop techs are good but I think the CC will bite a touch more if I remember correctly.
