I'll consider staying with the stock pads , or something like the Greens during winter, as the earlist i'll worry about winter pads will be november.

I'm just thinking that say in 30,000 miles of driving I will go through more then 1 set of pads. Considering autocrossing, + daily driving in the mountains,so that means I have to buy more then 1 set. Let's say 3 sets of brake pads. I may spend exactly the same over time (given enough time owning my car). either buying 3 sets of a good all around pad, OR i could buy 2 sets of summer use pads, and 1 set of winter street only pads.

Could be i'll sell my car before then, or the costs of pads won't add up as i'm guessing they might. But that's my silly little plan (currently).
