Rating 4.0

Red stuff are absolutely NOT track worthy. Will fade in like 1 lap. Any pads advertised as "low dust" tend to fade pretty fast. Yellow might be ok but I think they're still more of a performance street pad. Project MU HC+ are a good streetable track pad, maybe the best, use them on my Megane RS, no trouble with 20 mins sessions on high speed tracks and trackday tyres (Yokohama AD09). A little squeel at low speed on track but quiet enough to live with IMO.

Pros: streetable, good for track
Cons: red stuff fade fast

Ferodo Brake pads

I run the Ferodo DS2500 which would probably meet your criteria. Fair warning though - they make noise, especially in the fixed Brembo calipers. You have to regrease them every few months.

Pros: meet your criteria
Cons: make noise, regrease often

Ferodo Brake pads

Buy Ferodo DS2500 brake pads then buy rotors according to your budget, forget about drilled rotors if anything go with slotted and if within your budget get two piece rotors in order to save unsprung weight.

Cons: drilled rotors
Part number: DS2500

Project MU HC+ pads. These have a higher operating temp range than Ferodo DS2500 and are perfectly streetable too. I get very minor squeal when coming to a stop if it's been a while since they were used hard. they also have great braking feel IMO, nice and sharp, and perfectly controllable. I use them on a Renault Megane RS 280 Cup, I've used them on track with semi-slicks (AD09s) and they held up great in 15 min sessions. Some minor vibration after the day but that fades away with use (or another hard besdding session). Do not recommend Ferodo DS2500 especially with semi slicks. Might be ok for your first day if you're slow, but you'll almost certainly cook them on your second and get deposits on your rotors. Great performance pads or the street though. On my car I only use them on the front, rears are stock.

Pros: streetable, great braking feel
Cons: minor squeal, minor vibration

Ferodo Brake pads

I track the car and use the DS2500 pads with DOT 4 brake guild. Let me tell you this from personal experience, the stock pads fade real quick. After 2 sessions or so (15mins sessions), the brakes get real spongy.

Pros: good for track use
Cons: stock pads fade quickly
Vehicle: Subaru BRZ

Ferodo Brake pads

Many people don't like ferodo pads, but I use ds2500 for dual duty, but they can be hard to find. Just got to be careful getting off the highway with them when they are cold.

Pros: dual duty
Cons: hard to find, cold performance
