Hard to beat the pagid orange for the street or track. So cant be much more help. What are you looking for the pad to do that the OEM one doesnt? Less dust or better performance??

I just have these installed for the tracks.,the stopping grip is like day n nite compared with oem pads.The gripe i have is the unbearable squealing sound when coming to a stop.Not to mention the brake dust that seem to appear instantaneously.Since you are using Pagid,how is it compared to the characteristics of Ferodo that i just shared.

The pagid orange are a very good pad at the track when bedded in properly. The brake dust is no more than expected and not really any more than the OEM and certainly not less.
As for the noise that everyone talks about. If the pads are bedded in I drive my car to work with them and they really do not make that much if any noise. Certainly not enough to keep changing pads back and forth between track events.
The other worry people had was braking when the pads are cold. Again, I feel no difference on the street when the pads are cold they still stop fine.

So, for me overall the pagids are far superior at the track and are still fine for everyday driving. As for brake dust it is not a problem especially if you wipe your wheels down after each drive like I do....it takes 5 minutes.
