Brake pads STOPTECH or JURID
It's a solid pedal feel.
Pros: solid pedal feel
To me it looks like brake pad material on your rotors due to your street pads melting. Slap a new set a cheap pads on there from Autozone or something and drive it for a week or two that material should come off. As long as you don’t have vibration while braking they should still be good. Just make sure to use track pads next time. I personally run StopTech 309 pads because they’re good on track and street
Pros: good on track and street
Cons: street pads melting
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza WRX
I got Stoptech Sport pads that I've used on track and street for many years.
Pros: used on track, used on street
I run StopTech Sport pads on my E92 M3 and they hold up very well for a dual duty pad. I prefer them over the other options listed.
Pros: hold up very well

Buy pads and the sensor from FCP Euro. Use their lifetime replacement warranty for the next set. Went to the dealer in July for an alignment and they recommended pads for a similar price. I bought pads rotors and sensors for front and back, total was $1000 for BMW parts. You could save with Jurid which is listed as OE and OEM. My pads are at 4mm all around so I'm actually waiting for the sensor to trip before doing the job.
Pros: lifetime warranty, good price
Vehicle:
BMW M2
The StopTechs Sports are the better track and street option, I used the front pads in my E46 M3 for 10k+ street miles and a few trackdays. They have good feel and modulation. Just had a little bit of fade towards the end of a 25 minute session.
Pros: good feel, good modulation, street and track option
Cons: some fade

Mileage: 16093 km
I’ve been happy with my StopTech Sport pads.
Pros: happy with pads
There was a noticable increase in stopping power, but it came with a significant increase in brake dust. They also started squealing recently. I recently checked the pad life and it's been okay. So far I've put 10k on em, and I'm estimating that 1/3 to 1/2 of their life has been used
Pros: increased stopping power
Cons: increased dust, squealing
Mileage: 10000 km
The only difference I noticed with Stoptech is more dust.
Cons: more dust
I used Stoptech sport pads and am kind of regretting it. They don't seem to have great initial bite so I may swap to something else this summer.
Cons: don't have great initial bite
