Default I need brake pads, What do you got? What do you suggest?

Alright, I'm running brembos, 2003 Track Editiion, with StopTech Aero Slotted Rotors (lighter, improved rotational mass, and cooling/stopping)& Stainless Steel Lines & High Temp Fluid running on 19" Enkei RPO3 (as light as it's gonna get, but with some additional rotational mass).

I'm looking for pads as the Pagids I'm running now are just about up.

As always, I am looking for the best of both worlds for my daily driver +
track performance + good wear + fair price.

I am going to need something that will tolerate some track usage as I expect to make a couple more track runs in the coming months before Winter sets in.

I run my car hard, so yes I am looking for stopping power, but I need a pad that doesn't require TOO much warm up as I start off in the city many times in stop and go traffic.

if your a dealer/reseller let me know.

if your a end user, what are you using, and how do you use them?

Thanks!

I'm actually familiar with those, and the source where I wanted to get them, never has them in stock, and I get the run around about when they might get them, why not just pay for them, and it'll be a week, or two, or three....

Any suggestions?

You mentioned you would also like a brake pad that you can use as your daily drivers as well. I would suggest some Hawk HPS pads. I know they make a high performance pad that may also suit your needs. I paid ~$120 for brakes for all four wheels and they are awesome. Low dust, great stopping power, long life, affordable, low heat, what more could you ask for?

Hope that helps.

+1 on those. I'm running them on my '03 Track/Brembo drilled rotors and love them. Got them from Performance Nissan.

second for Ferodo. Without a doubt they are the BEST daily driver/track day pad I've ever used.
