Consider Project Mu Club Racers. They’re not the most aggressive pads but hold up decently well on track depending on your pace and are surprisingly streetable.

Pretty happy with my PMU 999s. They’re a step down from csgs but so much cheaper even with tariffs on imports.
brake pads when they get worn (should be a lot less frequent than an ICE car, some bolt owners go 100-150k+ without wearing through their first Original set!)
IMO the best are Project MU-HC+. in my Megane RS I could treat the HC+ as a track pad and go all-out for a full session, they'd just wear pretty fast at high temps
Not a classic. I had an ‘84. First brand new car. It was a surprisingly good and cheap car for when I went to uni. Had to replace the brakes often. Thought it was the cheap car. In retrospect it was likely my driving habits.
I use one pedal and mine get like that after rain etc. a little rust and glazing. I just use the brake pedal consistently and drive around the block.
The brakes on that thing were absolutely horrible. If you had to panic stop it really was a panic. I never felt that sob was going to stop.
A couple of months after purchase the breaks starting squeeking and a 1 1/2 years later they haven’t stopped. I have had the front ones replaced but I keep getting told it is due to no copper in the break pads anymore - I call BS to that. I also had to get a faulty sensor replaced for the front end because it was causing my car to abruptly stop when I attempted to pull off from a parked position. It was thinking something was in front of me so the front end collision thing was kicking in. I’ve also had to get the fuel injectors replaced because they went bad while in a road trip this summer. Luckily we were almost back home instead 800 miles away still. Currently waiting for rear breaks to come in so those can be replaced to hopefully stop this squeak.
1950 brakes weren't very good even when they were new.
