Best Brake Pads for the Street...???
#2
If you want more "stopping power" (to shorten your stopping distances), you need stickier tires, not different pads.
If you want pads that will maintain your current stopping distances during repeated hard braking (like on the track), Pagid Oranges are good pads.
Since you're looking for the best pad for the street, and "spirited" driving, what problems are your current pads causing for you?

I use orange for street and track. I found that with proper bedding in it is surprising how little noise they do make.
I think GR996TT has the best question, what problem are you having with the stock set up on the street??? Stopping distance, fade, fluid boiling, etc all have different answers. And honestly for me if you are over driving brakes on the street its time to get to a track!!

IMHO - orange on the street (when you can't warm them up) are *worse* in stopping than stock.
Hawk's and Ferodo 2500's (which I use for dual use) will grind rotors - that's the tradeoff.
You have to bed in any brake pad, and if stock aren't working for you - maybe try re-bedding:

Very good advice guys. Thanks alot.
I'm having the brakes flushed and putting new factory pads. I think the old ones were overused or something. I'll have to wait and find out.
Can you tell me how much the factory pads should cost, so I dont get ripped off by the dealer. Thanks again guys
