personally, i use the Project Mu Max level 900s on all my cars. agressive enough for any extent of track driving with no fade, and just barely streetable, if you are ok with some noise here and there. Plus, ive been VERY impressed with their pad life. I would usually get about 8-9 track days plus daily driving out of a set. If the PMu's are not available, i fall back on some hawk HP plus.

Another choice is AP Lockheed ZC. no noise, no fade up to 850C, no eating up the rotor.

for street i would definately go with the Top Secret pads... they are awesome, same feel/noise level as OEM with less dust and better stopping power. Bulletproof has a Group Buy on them right now for like $175 shipped front and rear. can't beat that. i am sure they can point you in the right direction as far as track pads are concerned as well. PM GiFF, he'' take care of you.

Call Bulletproof Automotive direct for them.


FYI - The thread has been closed and the deal was front and rear for $195 shipped. I don't know if this is still being honored.
