I am researching new brake pads. Looking for a good street and occasional track pad.. I do have more research on this topic.

I have seen the caliper bushing upgrade kits on Turner and other sites.

After searching all five (5) pages in this section, I did not find what I wanted.
My questions is this.
Is this a worthwhile upgrade? They are pretty inexpensive..
What are the pros and cons?
Edit: I do understand that these types of bushings are a maintenance item and must be cleaned and re-lubricated every 3000 to 5000 miles.
How "occasional" is occasional? If you're talking about a couple of driving schools per season then you can get by with a street pad like the Axxis Ult Ceramic or the Performance Friction Z-Rated pad. I prefer a dedicated track pad such as the PF-01 or new PF-06.
Unless you plan on using your Z4M as a dedicated track car with R-compound tires don't waste your money on caliper bushings, SS brake lines or BBK. Install some good high temperature competition brake pads and you are good to go.
