Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance
I would stick to oem or hawk pads.
Hawk 5.0 street. Very nice stoppers they make.
Hawk HPS brake pads are good to go with for daily driving.
Get the EBC RedStuff kit from FCP. I've had them on several cars and it's exactly what you describe. They held up to some AutoCross as well.
DBA 4000 T3 high-carbon rotors and EBC Red Stuff pads improved modulation for me significantly.
I use hawk ceramic compound strictly for the low dust. I autocross several times a year, which is way different than a day of 20 minute hot lap sessions, but I have noticed no discernible difference in performance. Just exponentially less dust on my rims.
Hawk 5.0 can be *okay* if you aren't pushing to hard yet but theyre going to be a limitation.
I always used EBC black organic pads; I tried HH pads briefly a few times but never liked the feel, especially in the rain.
Avoid the EBC blue stuff pads with those rotors, in case you're looking. They're super squeaky, even after a couple thousand miles, and seem to tend to put deposits on the rotors that make them feel like they're warped.
I am on their RP-1 pads but I get terrible vibrations after they get heated. I suspect its because I didnt change rotors from my previous pads. I just thought they'd be rebedded after a few hard stops with the new pads.
