C43 Brakes improvements for track days

Hello!

Does anyone have experience with brake system improvements for C43?

Stock brakes (mostly front) does not able to work well on track days, overheated after some laps. In general it works well if you can let it chill after 2-3 fast laps.
Initially I was thinking just to change brake pads with something like Endless or Pagid, but current (facelift) form factor does not supported by them.

There is an idea is to install C63s brakes (front and back), for C63 there options with brake pads, but it is min $5000+

No, I was talking about pads with better performance.
Default pads are not for track usage, so looking for the options.

Pads on C450/C43 2017-2019 are same.

No, it seems that C43 is not so popular model for improvements as C63. Thats why alternatives are not available

If you are in US, you may try to order EBC Brakes Yellowstuff 4000 Series Street And Track Brake Pad Set To Fit Front
Part No. DP43070R

but there are no feedbacks yet.

P.S. but little bit afraid off low price of EBC, anyway on Monday/Friday I will continue track days with stock pads, and will update
