Stop Tech's are what I used. They used to be Axxis Ultimate's. Can't go wrong there as long as you bed them properly to new rotors. They dust like a ****, but they will stop you in a real hurry. I imagine for stock size puny **** rotors they would fade quickly enough in a track setting, but on the street you feel like you've got race-car brakes. Of course, none of that does you much good unless you've got good tires....

You won't really notice a difference with high performance pads on stock rotors if thats what your using. Unless you heat up the pads and rotors enough then something like hawk or axxis will stop on a dime.. I've had hawk, axxis, Napa, ect and only noticed a difference to oem pads when I was going over 100 mph and hit the brake. Depends on how much you have to spend I guess.
