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 replaced the Brembo with the Zimmermann myself, so far so good, the original Brembo brakes warped after less than 15.000 km, I have now another 15.000 km driven with the Zimmermann and they are as good as new.

Pros: good as new
Cons: Brembo brakes warped
Mileage: 15000 km

I just installed front and rear brakes @90k on my MK7.5 GTI w/PP brakes with a kit from FCP Euro Zimmerman cross drilled font and rear with EBC Red Stuff pads. The price has gone up a good bit since then but its a good upgrade from stock imo.

Pros: good upgrade from stock
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 90000 km

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

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

I found Project Mu Club Racers to be decently streetable for a track pad. They do squeal a bit at less than 25 but are tolerable as long as they’re bedded in and you’re giving a decent amount of threshold pressure.

Pros: decently streetable
Cons: squeal a bit
Vehicle: Honda S2000

I switched to the supposedly equivalent Zimmerman blanks and textar pads and I didn’t like the performance so I switched back to the stock brakes.

Cons: poor performance
