I was thinking about getting a set of EBC's for the track.

I've ridden with both the Lyndall's and the EBC's. I prefer the Lyndall's for street. They have a much more linear feel. They provide a much more flexible initial bite. If you put on the brakes a little, you get a little. If you grab a handfull, you get a strong initial bite.

The EBC's provide much less linear feel. They have an initial bite that is strong like new rope. You can overpower your tire traction with the brake force if you grabbed a handfull in a panic. This is great for track use because you can delay your brake point longer and then put the binders on hard.

For the street, though, I prefer the linear feel. I don't switch out for track days. I've only ridden one track so far that really needed it, and that was Nashville Super Speedway. Coming off the front straight, I wouldn't have minded a little additional brake force. Otherwise, I'm working to keep the entry speed as high as possible. Otherwise, I'm taking bird strikes in the rear from 600's and 1000's.
