Some people say that a high-performance street pad is good for beginners. But, I really think that depends on the track, the car, and your driving style. I started in a 350Z, with an autoX pad, on a track that is hard on brakes and I got by. But, if were doing it over, it would not do it again, nor would I recommend it to anyone else.

I would start with a track pad. There is a wide range of compounds that are quote "track" pads. You don't need a full race compound.

Call Carbotech Brakes and ask for Danny. Tell him what you will be driving, and he will put you in the right compound.
