Track Pads for Autocross?

Wanted to get peoples opinions on this, tried searching this and the f8x forums and doesn't seem like anyone auto crosses lol.

I'll be doing an autocross event (speed ventures-ACS) for the first time in a very long time. I usually run PFC08s on the track but will they be needed for autocross? The PFCs bite well enough when cold but I know it's harsher on the rotor when cold and I'm thinking the stock pads will do just fine based off what I remember/know about AX. What do you guys think?

A good sport pad may be the best since you aren't likely to get full track pads up to temperature on a 40-50 second course. However, if you are able to back to back runs, then track pads may have some benefits.

Drag your brakes coming up to the line. Works like a charm.

I got the PC11s and they were louder than any brake pad I've ever used. I have had great luck on track days previously with PFC01 and PFC08s in the past on my e92.

I don't this pads are needed if you are doing autocross but I would definitely use them if you track hard. RBF660 goes a long way in keeping your brakes working. It is always my first upgrade to any car I have with the exception of SRF on my GT3 RS.
