Rick,

The main problem is that after 10-15 minutes on the track, the car simply will not stop effectively in my opinion. I find myself getting on the brakes much earlier and using the engine to help slow the car down. Not sure how to be anymore specific. I want to be more confident and be able to go a little deeper into the turns. I have not purchased any parts yet and I am prepared to invest time in this because I like it. However, if it is the consensus here that I do have enough invested in hardware to stop adequately, maybe I should experiment with pads. I am confident that all my parts are properly matched and in good working order. The "D" pad that I am currently using is basically a street pad with the highest cold friction rating. They say it is good over a wide range of temps. The "B" pad is supposed to be much better for higher temps but like Ernie stated, not too good for the street. I have no problem switching pads before a race.
