Pagid Yellows (and Oranges) seem to be the trend but for the track only! If street use is your aim then go for OEM a mix of both worlds would be Pagid Blue...

Warning: the reason (I think) these things work so well is their metal content is higher - and therefore they squeal a LOT. I run Orange on the street and it always sounds like the wear warning on the brakes on my truck.

Im wondering the same thing. I have the yellow pads and they are LOUD. Everytime I come to a stop, the neighborhood dogs go crazy. They work great, but I cant deal with the sound anymore.

I have BHP pads for the street and they have minimal noise. For track use I've been using Performance Friction's 01 compound. So far I've been pretty happy with this setup.

I've never tried the BHP pads on the track, but I can say that they have good feel on the street. I've never boiled them on the streets.

Check http://rennstore.com/ for Padid pads.

I use Pagid Yellow fronts and Blacks on the rear (for more bite).

I also run yellows up front and blacks on the rears. Better front to rear braking balance for our models.
