Question !!help all racer!! EBC greenstuff or Axxis Ultimate???

I just signed up for another road once. I can't stop myself.

I'm putting on SS brake line tomorrow with Motul 600.

I don't know if I should go with EBC greenstuff or Axxis Ultimate.

I road race about every 7 weeks and I want to use the pads for daily
driving also. BUT i'm willing to sacrifice brake dust and noise for performance.

My friend sells Porterfield, but he told me they are rotor killers. I don't like
working on my car much. So i don't want to put new rotors often with the
porterfields.

I'm looking to get the pads in the next few days, so i can break them in
and in time for my road race in two weeks(4/16).

Thanks a lot

Brake temps....

Porterfield R4 1600F
Porterfield R4-S 1100F ( I run these front and rear Pad/shoe)
EBC greenstuff 1022 F
EBC Redstuff 1380
Hawk HP+ 800F
Axxis Ultimate 1000F


I'd go with EBC Red for track days.

So far, the porterfields have been very nice to my rotors. the R4 compound may be a little rougher and the R4-E (endurance race pad) would be even rougher.
(porterfield claims that all of their pad meterials are Very rotor friendly )

I think they were 76 for the pads and 80 for the shoes.
