Brake Pad Recommendation Non-Sport

For aggressive street driving I would recommend the Mintex Extreme (sold by Stillen's Brake Pros devision). They wear well, handle 1100F (and even higher in my experience). They do dust

For aggressive street driving I would recommend the Mintex Extreme (sold by Stillen's Brake Pros devision). They wear well, handle 1100F (and even higher in my experience). They do dust quite badly when pushed to the limit but the dust isn't abrasive. Only downside is they are moderately expensive.

PFC has good street compounds but don't think they have this size yet.

XP8 is pretty aggressive for the street, I would use extreme caution if you attempt to drive this in the rain.

CL Brakes is good as a track day pad since it is swap friendly. Extended driving on the street is not recommended since the self lubricating properties only work at temperature. A day of 2 of street driving after the event can be used to scrub the rotor of the race compound so that you can swap street pads back in though.

Just about all the pads are going to require cleansing and rebedding. A thorough scrubbing with heavy steel wool is usually enough.
