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

Pros: treat as track pad, full session
Cons: wear pretty fast

Project Mu Brake pads

Depends what you're after. If just street with some spirited driving, smething like pmu hc+ or ns400 works. I do track work and used to run hc800s, but got hc+ thinking they are the same. Only 600c rated instead. But, good cold performance, and extra good performance hot. So, they don't wear out super quickly while daily driving. Got quite a lot of track days and driving out of my original hc800s with t3 rotors. But, they are harder to find. Need to get the shape from pmus website, and then find somebody that stocks them. Rhd japan may do

Pros: good cold performance, good hot performance
Cons: harder to find
Vehicle: Honda Civic

I really liked Project Mu Club Racers as a "streetable-ish" track pad. They were fairly tolerable on the street as long as they were bedded in. They occasionally squeal when coming to a stop once below 15mph.

Pros: tolerable on street
Cons: occasional squeal

Higher-temp and higher-mu pads (Project Mu HC+R3) + braided brake lines + DOT 4 fluid for me. Slotted fronts, blank rears.

Pros: higher temp, higher mu
Vehicle: Subaru

Lastly, I had the well-known brake pad deposit problem on the rotors, which over time (about 5-6k miles for me) would cause the steering wheel and car to shake a bit when breaking, similar to the feeling you get when the rotors are warped. I had the rotors cut once, then all four rotors and pads replaced, and then the front rotors were replaced again. As many other Stinger owners online have said, once they replaced the stock rotors and pads with a good set of aftermarket rotors and pads, or some even just machining their stock rotors and getting new aftermarket pads, that seems to have solved the issue for them.

Pros: aftermarket pads solved issue
Cons: brake pad deposit problem
