Brake pedal feel BBK on track.

Here's my cautionary tale - at the DN6 event earlier this month, I had Pagid RS5s on the front APs. I had had a couple of recommendations to use them and couldn't source RS29s on time. As Shimmy says, the pads literally smeared themselves all over the discs when they got hot and caused a judder that became so bad that I had to abandon the track. I called AP directly, who diagnosed the problem (RS5s would only be ok for lighter work, they said). They then gave me details of somewhere near the 'ring to go and get the discs skimmed. Also ended up replacing the pads with Performance Friction items (these were APs recommendation). Brakes are now awesome. Downside is that the pads rattle around because (I think) there is a problem with the anti-rattle clip.
