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.

Pros: decent on track, surprisingly streetable

Cons: not most aggressive

I have a 21' Hyundai Accent which was basically the sedan version of the Venue before the Accent got axed. I live in the NE so I've encountered plenty of road salt as well as coastal salt/driving through minor coastal flooding. My car has basically zero rust underneath. I wash it immediately (within 24 hours) of driving through coastal flooding or winter treated roads, or as soon as temps go above freezing. Shit, I've got 80k on this car on the original brake pads and there's NO rust on the rotors or calipers, which to me is an unexpected surprise for someone who drives in corrosive conditions.

Pros: no rust, original pads

Vehicle: Hyundai Accent

Mileage: 80000 km

On the other hand, all I did to it was change oil, brake pads, tires and spark plugs. Ran all the time, snow, sun, rain. Drove it everywhere. Put loads of miles on it.

Pros: ran all the time

Pretty happy with my PMU 999s. They’re a step down from csgs but so much cheaper even with tariffs on imports.

Pros: happy with performance

Cons: step down from csgs

Late last year had the brakes completely fail on a 3 day old Pallisade and the dealer told the victims that yes it’s a known problem. No there’s not a fix, have a nice day and let them drive off in it. I basically begged them to pick anything else but they wouldn’t hear it, that is until they almost crashed with my two nephews in tow.

Cons: brakes completely fail, known problem, no fix

Vehicle: Hyundai
