StopTech BBK with streetperformance pads
I just purchased a StopTech BBK which comes with their streetperformance pads.
i currently run project mu HC800 pads with brake ducting at all 4 corners and get about 2-3 track days out of my brake pads all around. I’m wondering if with the BBK I will be able to get away with running the included pads on track or am I just going to burn through those pads in 2-3 days as well? My goal for purchasing the kit was to improve pad/rotor life on track, and if those pads are going to dissentegrate and fade on track I’ll be really disappointed to ruin a day and also burn up what would be great street pads. Should I just go ahead and buy HC800 for the front as well? Let me know your thoughts.

HC800's are a ~1400F pad.
Stoptech 309's are around the same.
The BBK will keep them below that temp for longer than your stock brakes.
I've used 309's on the track. I was fine using them on a fairly slow speed track (Gingerman) on a 100% stock AP2 with 300TW Kumho SPT tires and my DC2-R with a K24.
With a BBK, you'll likely do just fine with the 309's if your car is NA.

Thanks B Serious, that’s helpful info. I’m NA stock power. Track is hard on brakes and so am I but I was hoping the BBK would keep temps low enough on those pads that I won’t burn through them.

You'll be fine if you're NA. On the Los Angeles area tracks which I would consider moderate (not heavy) on brake wear, I think I have a 10 track days, around two hundred auto-x runs, 20k street miles, and I'm only halfway worn through the pads. Of importance, track days were with brake ducts.
