To reiterate you really need to learn the car first. I took my e92 out to the track a few times and quickly realized that the weight of the car far exceeded its braking capabilities on a track. They were good, but could really use help. But even with better pads, the weight was still too much for the tires and chassis. I could make it slightly better by getting better tires and coilovers, but the bigger problem was the weight. Brakes just help get the wheels from spinning... tires are what actually stop the car via friction. The biggest most heat dissipating brakes in the world aren't going to help any car stop on a wet road with slicks on doing 80mph any better than a crappy set of brakes. (huge hyperbole I know, but just making a point)
