Going to first track day - do I need racing brake pads and/or fluid?

Are you guys swapping the RS29's out before and after each track day? How are they on the stock rotors in terms of wear?

I still haven't pulled mine out from the last track day but I don't daily drive my car and I was thinking I might go back to the track soon

Now that I have removed most of the trackpad bedding...they are starting to get loud when cold and on the street

So, after a track day, it's recommended to switch out the track pads for the stock pads, but it's OK to keep the Castrol SRF blake fluid and and the SS lines on, is that correct?

The SRF stays in always....just bleed periodically. I leave my track pads on even on the street since it's not my DD....a bit noisy. Switching to OE pads after track is quick and easy though.

i'm getting ready for my first track day in a completely stock M2 including OEM wheels and MPSS rubber. Any advice on starting tire pressures (20 min sessions)? What about for AutoX?

Start around 30 in the morning to avoid any TPMS issues. After the first session, adjust and manage pressures to 36 hot.

So ran the car completley stock this friday, brakes worked brilliantly! I totally underestimated them and I was left braking way to early every time almost.

M2 OEM brakes work very well on track, sure after 10-15min they lose a bit, but not much at all. Cool down lap, repeat, have fun!
