When I had an NC, I put wilwood pro matrix pads on. I did a few track days a year and then drove it daily in the summer. They held up great, but I wasn't super hard on them at the track.

Wilwood White.
It's been a long time coming, but I've finally been driving the Z, and now I just need to get it on the track! Big Wilwood rotors and forged calipers
I purposely upgraded my NB’s braking and suspension to race-ready standards because I commute… a LOT.
I have come to realize there are others on the road who are absurdly inept behind the wheel and want every tool at my avail to avoid them. I have fully adjustable Meister-R’s on all four corners and Willwood calipers in the front. I had to put them to the test when someone did a no-look lane change into my lane with ZERO clearance and I was required to stomp on the brakes to keep from hitting them. The Wilwoods earned their keep that night.
If you get a wilwood superlite caliper, the pads will be cheaper and are 20mm thick. They aren’t a top of the line caliper but should be more than enough. Also you can run endurance pads. I use raybestos st43 although those seem hard to get now. Pagid rsl29 or ebc sr11 will be endurance pads with similar or slightly less mu.
I have wilwood's forged dynapro 6 brake calipers and the pads wildwood suggest for that setup and I stop on a dime ngl but even when I had a stock FiST the braking never seemed to crazy tho
All brake components are already bought.
I have run Wilwoods on my Corrado for years with the usual rebuilding every two years. Even with ABS under full braking using the BP10 pads it would occasionally lock up fully and blow a cogged belt off the supercharger.
Replacing my Wilwoods b/c I dont race (yet) and don't want to maintain them every 10k miles.
Wilwoods suck.
