Brake pads
So what brake pads are people running? Is it completely fine to get some m3/m4 pads for the m2 or should i be waiting some m2 specific pads?
Im going to Nurburgring at the end of this month so want to upgrade the pads to something a little better that can also be used daily. I was going to go for the Pagid option but what you guys running?

I heard they can be quite harsh on the discs? Anyone know about this?

If you want a performance pad my advice is swap them in for the track and then put the street pads pad on after. It's a quick swap and easy. Besides, track pads are loud on the street... they only work well when hot and they never got hot on the street. Track pads are compromises for the street. Street pads are compromises for the track. Neither work well outside of their intended environments. P.S. Any M4 pad will fit the M2... same calipers.

I've heard similar but no experience... for light track use there are a number of pads that can work. However, a couple of hot laps of the 'Ring and I bet they are toast if you are at all experienced.

Me-20 are the best all round pad. Never fade , quiet on the street, not harsh on rotors imo
They are supposedly a track only pad but I have used them on my last 3 dd I haven't tried the me-22 but endless know their stuff. I am trying the winmax 6.5 pads as the data looks slightly better, and felt like a change |

You may want to take a spare set of the stocks then. They wear away fast in track conditions. I would imagine the Ring devours them pretty quickly.

Ordered a set from the MPerformance catalogue. OEM first.
I will try same Endless TRZ I have on the other car later if MP Pads are noisy. Endless arent and they are superb.
