brakes?

Hi,
So I let my brakes overheat and get warped on my last track day. Dealership is unwilling to cover replacement under warranty, and I'm left thinking that maybe this is an opportunity for a brake upgrade. I'm looking for something that's more durable than the stock brakes and still good for a daily driver. Any thoughts?

It would be surprising they are actually ''warped'', the oem M2 rotors are almost impossible to warp.

You probably have oem pad material deposits on them, if you install ''real'' track pads you have chances of clearing the material from the surface altrough your first braking might be a bit shaky..

Ah, yes, I should have done a bit more reading prior to posting that question. Thank you! As I'm an inept mechanic and do not wish to swap pads for each track session, are there any pads that would be good for track use and daily driving? My commute isn't very long, so I can put up with some discomfort.
