G20 330I Race Brake Pads?

What's up everyone. New member and first post! Have a g20 330i xdrive "non M sport package". So I have base calipers. I do some driving events at Pocono and Watkins Glen road courses. I've always upgraded the pads first then modded the rest of the car from there. Can't find any race pads for this car due to not being equipped with the Non M sport calipers. Experienced minor brake fade this past Monday at Watkins Glen. Not too bad at all but too much for my comfort. Anybody here have any experience or info on upgrading the brake pads w base calipers to reduce brake fade. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thx

I did intensive research for pads on my soon to take delivery M340i equipped with track package and 374mm front rotors.

As of now the only brand that seems to make pads closest to track usage is EBC, particularly yellow and blue variety.

Others will come out but we don't know when..

As for standard 348mm brakes there could be a bit more options but I did not search much.

The brakes that seem to have A LOT of availability are the supra 330mm ones.

I have 3 track days with them and have to say for street/track pads they have impressed me ! No noise on the street.

I did end up reaching there limits but with a little hold from my part I can safely go trough a full track day without problem.

I did order EBC Blue NDX front pads but they are still back ordered and I have no idea when I will get them.
