It's coincidental that you mentioned the HC+800's though, since those are the exact pads I have on the car now, and the same ones that faded on me on the track. Nothing against them, they are a street compound. I'd expect them to balk at 30 minute lapping sessions at VIR. I absolutely agree with you that extended wheel studs are a better way to deal with spacers. I have a set of wheels on order that clears the BBK without requiring the extended studs however. The spacer setup would likely only need to last for an HPDE weekend or two before I'd get rid of the spacers and run wheels with enough clearance. Thanks again everyone for taking the time to respond to my noob question.
