I am not sure of the brand of pads Alliances ships with the brakes but we ended going with a race compound in the front and a street compound in the rear. Running Race front and rear caused the brakes in the rear to lock up prematurely in die hard braking i.e. 100+mph to 0mph stops ended up engaging the ice mode on the Z.
with the Race front and the street rear we took the car to little tally which is notorious in the Southeast for killing your brakes!!! I usually get up to 120+ in three places and then back down to sub 70mph for the turns. the track is also a short 1.3 mile track with very little time for your brakes to cool and honestly it probably wears down the right front the most... I am a notorious late brake practitioner from my motorcycle racing days and it has been a fun experience trasnfering some of the concepts over to cars... we approach turns completely different and I have learned alot over the past 5~6 years. With stock power we were able to pull out a 1:04 in the 370z... we have a lot more power now and I am curious if we can get into a sub 1 min lap... maybe with some R comps hehehe
