You sound much better informed than I, but I think you're being too general.
I have what were sold to me as "racing pads" on my TR7. They only take a few
minutes of normal driving to come up to temp. In the meantime, I just drive
slower and/or push harder on the pedal.
Perhaps I'm using a compound that's somewhere in between road and full-race.
I'll have to find out. (They're on Ford Capris disks/calipers, anyway.)
