Will I mess my brakes up doing one track session on stock rotors and pads?
I was thinking of doing a local track session next weekend. Never run at the track before. Wanted to go and get some experience in a fun environment with some peeps from work.
What happens if I use my stock rotors and pad. Will I do damage to the stock rotors, just the pads or both?

you could leave some deposits on the stock rotors...
the worst will be the terrible brake fade you'll experience with such a hefty vehicle. I would STRONGLY encourage you to try and get some track pads at the least. SS lines and Motul RBF 600 if you can as well...

OK, so first session out no new parts BUT take it easy.
After that first session go with the pads, fluid and lines. Maybe one session on stock equipment to see how bad it is and then move on to pads, lines and fluid. Get a feel for the improvement and go from there.
Don't think there is enough time between now and next weekend to get those parts and have them installed.
Since most of my driving is on the street what would be good pad suited to 98% street driving and then 2% on the track?
