Pad/rotor recs for 1 track day + 22K aggressive miles/yr?
I got my Akebono'd G last April and put about 20K miles on it over that time. When I got it the brakes were toast so I replaced them immediately. Well I had some service done at the dealer and they said my pads are down to 1-2mm. And my front rotors have been toast for a few months now. I'm doing a little track night thing through the infield at our local NASCAR track in about a month.... what pads/rotors would you recommend?
I am thinking for rotors to just stick with Centric blanks... though I don't know whether to just get plain 120s or cryo treated 125s. For pads I didn't mind the Hawk HPSs I had outside of the damn dusting but that comes with the territory.
Thoughts?

Centric Premiums w/ Hawk HPS 5.0 would probably be the most bang for your buck and should check most of the boxes on your list. It sounds like you're pretty rough on brakes so the Cryogenic treated set would seem to be money well spent as the rotors come already temp cycled, this should keep them sound through all your upcoming plans.

I didn't mind them. Even in ~10-20 degree weather I didn't hear them.
I got the HPS 5.0s this time. I thought about getting the Street/Race, but that is probably overkill for 1 track day. Also got the 125 cryos for the front. Surprised the pads wore so evenly.
