Q: Is Stage 1 enough for occasional track days, or do I need a big brake kit?
Stage 1 is the sweet spot for spirited street driving and canyon runs, and it handles towing plus the occasional track day while keeping daily livability. If your Model X mainly lives on track with repeated high-speed laps, step up to our carbon ceramic solutions. The honest line is that pads and lines transform feel; sustained track heat is a job for more rotor and caliper.
