What do people run for rear pads on their track day cars? I've had Yellowstuff in the back of mine and it's time to replace them.

I've got DS2500's on the front in my WMS 280mm kit which I love, never had them fade and the brake pedal always feels spot-on. Will I notice much difference if I went for the same in the back, factoring in the fact that they cost nearly double what the Yellowstuff cost?

I don't mind paying the extra at all for them if they will perform better than the Yellowstuff, but I'm not sure how much work the rear brakes do on the e30, especially when I've got my nice weighty M30 upfront :)

I've got PFC 06 compound pads on the rear of mine they seem to be holding up well and certainly bite.

Pagid blues work great on the rear - running Tarox Corsa on the front (e30 m3 brakes) and pretty happy with them all round. Only fade very occasionally if pushing very hard

I've run ds2500's all round on a mainly road driven car. Cold bite isn't good but once warmed up they were very good in the rear giving (in my opinion - no data) a very balanced front and rear brake set up.
