Brake pads Carbotech or Hawk Performance

If you can deal with the dust get the Ferodos. They stop like hell. If dust is a problem go with the Hawks.

I've got the Carbotec bobcats, They are a nice pad.

However the cold bite of the ax-6 is far superior to the xp10 for street and auto-x, and in my opinion far better than what my oem pads felt like and far more than the hps.

Hawk Performance Ceramic pads on the front and rear. In the past 2-months I've run 2-track days (Buttonwillow and AutoClub Speedway Roval) and I'm really impressed with their fade-resistance after 6-7 hotlaps (17+ minutes) into a session.

Carbotech XP10's are great for the track, but for daily driving they won't heat up enough to give you the stopping power that they are capable of. They also sqeal like crazy if they are not hot.

i did hawk race ceramics and powerslot pros from tirerack.com all i have to say is amazing! no fade or anything!

i like my hawks.. people say they are more dusty.. i didnt think so.. after tracking them once tho i feel like they wore kinda quickly

I am very happy with the Bobcats for street only

I have tried the following pads (and still have them on my shelf): Stock Pagids, Mintex Reds, HPS, HP+, Ferodo DS2500 (fronts), Carbotech P+ (fronts). I have used each for several thousand miles after breaking each in per manufacturers' recommendations. And yes, this means I was changing brake pads at least every few weeks. Rotors too, I also have 3 sets of front rotors. This was all in pursuit of GREAT braking at autocross, then on track. I don't know if the HPS are the best street pad, but they're decent. That's how I meant it. Call them a 7 of 10. They aren't what I want in a street pad, but for someone that never does autocross or track days - they're good. Personally I thought they were very similar to the stock 20AE Pagids. (I originally went from Stock to Mintex to HPS to Stock and back to HPS again, btw) The HPS dusted as much as the stockers and had similar bite. I didn't test their fade resistance. With a stock braking system, I think HP+ and DS2500 are both IFFY track pads. The HP+ are great as long as you don't overheat them and replace them every 2 or 3 events.

my HPS are now cooked after my track events. They're also getting noticeably more dusty, too. I'm going to be getting better pads before my next event. My last trip to Limerock, they were fading bad after only a lap. But, they held up for a long time before that.
