Wilwood brake pad choices. Looking to upgrade

Looking to upgrade the brake pads that came with the Wilwood brake kit. The current pads are the BP-10's and is great for the street, but when I was on the track it felt like they lost there bite only after a lap or two. When I was on the Nurburgring I could only get to around the 15 kilometer mark before the brakes started to feel really spongy.

I'm looking at the BP-20 or the Compound "C" pads. Let me know what you think. The brake fluid I'm using is ATE Super Blue at the moment and the rear pads are Hawk hp's. The pads will be on the car full time. Will try to hit the track atleast 1-3 times a month, more if I can.

The "A Compound" is the most heavy duty compound Wilwood/Raybestos make. The 2nd level down is the "H Compound". I would try either of those. Ditch the ATE for good brake fluid too (Endless RF650, Castrol SRF, or the such).
