Cut to 2019 and I added Ferodo Racing 2500 pads to the front and they worked GREAT at NJMSP, still with the EBC rears.
Ferodo DS2500 (street/track)-$290.00
For track purposes, I upgraded my rotors to stoptech slotted, pads to ferodo 2500, steel lines, and rbf600 fluid. Gets the job done, and stays consistent over the course of a typical track day. The braking power/feel is not much greater over the stock rotor/pads combo, but holds up better to the heat (those OEM pads do like to melt, if abused).
I also run Motul RBF600 fluid and Ferodo DS2500. I use my R as DD (~13K miles/year) and about 10 track days per year. Setup is fine for both and I recommend it as a good setup for your situation.
I typically run RBF600 with Ferodo DS2500, changed at the beginning of spring and after each HPDE (back to OEM brake fluid in the winter). Massive improvement over the stock for sure, but at the end of a 2 day track weekend the pedal will be on the softer side, which improves after brake flush.
I have had good success with Ferodo DS2500 pads front and rear, OEM rotors, and RBF600 (or equivalent) brake fluid. The Ferodo pads were fine to use for the street (no noise, normal dust, and seem reasonably rotor friendly) and competent on the track.
Ds2500 are at least oem dust level from what I've heard but better performance and they do squeak a bit.
I think my DS2500s were a good bit dustier than stock
Tried EBC Green Stuff but they did not work for me; now I'm using Ferodo DS Performance. They work well on OEM and EBC Turbo Grove discs.
When I had my Honda, a freak incident occured involving pads. I was coming up to a red light and I just heard a "thunk" and next thing I know, I had little to no-brake power. Took the wheel and caliper off, and somehow the outer pad had completley vanished....no joke, gone, nothing left, not even a shred of metal.
