I use EBC Yellow. They dust more than OEM, and sometimes make a little noise when they are cold but otherwise work well on the street and are pretty good on the track. They are also fairly inexpensive.

pads
 
For track use the carbotech xp12 up front and either the xp10 or xp12 at the rear depending on how much rear brake you want.

for street the carbotech 1521 are much better than the stock pads, but will not handle continuous lapping at the track without overheating.

here is a link to the different carbotech compounds

There are some bad posts about the EBC yellow on track. Im not interested in inexpensive solutions for my safety at least.

What about project mu?

What about the project mu
b-spec or hc+?

Are the hc+ too noisy? They seems to have good breaking power!

I've use the project mu pad ns type.

Seem to be ok.

But at the moment my z rotor is wraped.

Going to purchase the stoptech drilled and slotted type rotor.

Most members recommended it.

I don’t think anyone who knows what they are talking about is going to recommend drilled rotors.

Here is a shot of my old set of drilled and slotted Stop Tech rotors.

This. Unless you need to know where the rotor will crack.

i purchased the stillen pads they have for the sport package. im not really happy with them for street driving. the dont bite as hard as the OEM pads, are messy, and hard stops wernt as controlled feeling as the OEM's.

Ouch. I had a set of dimpled rotor, but I never ran them. Those look scary!

Do drilled rotors crack under normal daily driving?
