Default Can't find good pads for 06-08 standard models...

I've been searching everywhere and most of the good compounds are not readily available for the newer model brakes. The only good pads that I could find were:

Porterfield RS4 (Don't last very long)
Carbotech "x-series"

Are these two the only options there are for this model?

Note: Cobalt Friction lists 03-06 standard brakes with the same part number but I believe it's a mistake on their part.

Porterfield can cut pretty much any pad you want. I've had them cut Hawk DTC70, HT10, and Raybestous ST43/42s for my base braked 2006.

In case anyone was wondering, I emailed cobalt friction concerning their XR-series compound and they do make pads for the 06-08 application.
