My opinion is that street pads are for street cars - you don’t have to mess with keeping brakes warm, and you’re not going to get fade in normal road driving. Triple digits? Mph? Not on any street that I know of. That’s instant impoundment and roadside license suspension where I live, even on the fastest highways.

I ran Ferodo DS2500 on track cars on the street, and PFC-01. Spring to autumn. Both brands squealed. One set of 2500’s was really bad. None had particularly useful cold bite. It’s noticeable. On track, I need a lap or two to get them and tires to really bite. If you haven’t done it, you wouldn’t understand. And neither of these are considered true dedicated track pads. I used Hawk HPS on another car, and they were basically hyped up street pads. None of these are particularly dusty. HP+ can be terrible in that regard, as are some others.
