Brake pads for track day?

Do you guys use the factory brake pads for track days? How do they hold up? Does Hawk or anyone make pads that would hold up better? Most of the M3's I've had got a good amount of brake fade, this will be my first time with the M5.

Nothing else to use right now.

Stock pads are "ok", but fade. Car has fade compensation, but it kinda screws with the feel. They do seem to last okay, but not great. If you leave the DSC on, the rear pads wear out REAL fast.

I'm hoping somebody finally makes aftermarket pads soon.

Thanks I'll check into those.

I hear Laguna Seca is realllly hard on breaks, so I'd rather go with something aftermarket than risk it on OEM's.
