Stock AP1 with Potenza RE71R
Stock AP1 with RE71Rs. Daily driven, stock suspension, UK spec aligment, may see an autocross or HPDE day or two.
Replacing brakes, thinking of using
Centric rotors with OEM pads
Comments? Suggestions? Should I consider a different pad given the sticky tires?

Stock pads will not work for a HPDE.
Stoptech street performance pads will probably be your best bet. Rockauto usually carries them for like under $100 for the set of 4.
I used them on my gf's stock AP2 with Kumho SPT's to do a session at the track. The clutch overheated from the CDV being active. The pads never faded for the full 20 mins.
They don't dust excessively, and the dust washes off easily. Good torque, good pedal feel. Not a pure track pad. About the same temp resistance as a Hawk HP+. And they're cheap.
I use them for DD on my AP1, and as a rear axle pad for slower tracks: 255/40/17 Direzza all around (soon to be RE71), KW V3 w/ 12K/10K springs. 17x9 +45.
