I was using Raybestos ST43s and they had phenomenal friction.
I use the Ferodo DS2500. I track my car several times a year, but it’s also a daily driver in New England winters.Been very impressed with these pads as they are absolutely silent and still bite in the cold. The only noise they make is a clunk when changing direction front to back (like reversing, then going forward again).Dust isn’t any worse than OEM, may possibly be better actually.If you don’t really care about better performance, find a ceramic pad like PosiQuiet.
A brand new Camaro 1SS 1LE will be $45k. It's the best performance bang for buck on the market and comes pretty much built for track days- it has an extra oil cooler, transmission fluid cooler, great brakes with good street/track pads (they're basically the same as Ferrodo DS2500), and the alpha platform has unbelievable potential. The motor is easy to deal with since it's NA (linear power curve, still makes great tq at lower RPMs) and the eLSD+traction control tuning is extremely competent. I beat the absolute shit out of mine on track 1-2 times a month and it never skips a beat even in the disgusting Florida summer heat.

Replaced my front and rear brakes about a year ago with Raybestos (ceramic) and have been happy with it. Stopping power has been great. Didn't realize how bad my brakes were until I put these new ones in.
You got this. Just did the brakes on my wagon myself for the first time and it was breeze. Rock auto had a really good deal on raybestos brakes when I did mine. Worked amazing
I paid 800 all in for tarox front and rear dics and ferodo pads on my f10 535d and fitted it myself in a day..
I’ve had Powerstop Z36 Impression: just average
Hawk LTS. Impression: very good
Raybestos Element 3. Impression: similar to OEM
Now I run Raybestos “Truck & Medium Duty” front & rear. They’re very good: low dust, low noise, good performance & pedal feel.
I have Ferodo DS2500 pads on my 987 Cayman. They are a good pad for street/track duty and it seems they come recommended on the forums. Just remember a dual purpose pads are okay for street and track, but not great in either.
