I've uh... been a bit of a twit and left it to the last minute so chasing a set I can pickup at Autobarn or Supercheap, are there any decent options for light track use there?
 
Also can I get away with just the fronts or would it be better to do both front and back at once? I know it might be a bit uneven but it seems to be my fronts fading very fast. I recently flushed my system and am currently running super dot 4

Since your in Brisbane, your could speak to Friction Material Developments. They have the A1RM series of pads that are orientated towards street performance and light track work.

They are located in Nerang if that's local enough for you to drop in and collect some suitable pads.
 
As for brake fluid, I personally trust Motul RPF660, it's about $30/500ml, but the stuff has never let me down in the last 5 years of track and street driving.

Cool thanks for that, is there any reason that I shouldn't use the brake fluid I already have?

Depending on what brake fluid you have, it might not be rated for the temperatures that are experienced on the track and can cause it to boil.

Ah okay, we shall see! I'll find out this weekend.
 
Extremely impressed with GL rallysport, ordered at 4:30pm yesterday, arrived at my work in the CBD before.
