If you wanted to do a 100mph run with these, you can. If you wanted to take your car to the track with these, you can do it without having these pads fade.

If you have a full blown high HP car running really sticky tires like slicks, then you probably aren't running stock brakes, and should be running full race pads.
There's a shop located near my house has ST pads. Might consider

Fixed, once i bumped up to a 255 front tire (falken 615) the stock brakes went to crap, even with EBC yellows. Rotor temps were around 950 degrees after a cool down lap.

So yesterday a deer jumped right in front my Z out from behind some tree's/bushes, I had very little time to react and ended up clipping his rear legs launching him into the air. Luckily the only damage was to my nismo V2 bumper and a light scuff on hood. This reminded me of just how important your brakes are.

Ive spent a good couple hours today researching all the pad options and decided to replace my worn out OEM pads and give the Stoptech Street Performance pads a shot. They seem to have gotten good reviews, hard bite, no fade, no squeaks but heard there a bit dusty. Ill let you guys know what I think when I get em.

I would buy Centric pads. I installed Brembos on my car and used Centric Extended Wear pads. I only use the car for regular street driving.

No squeals after 10,000km & VERY little brake dust, almost non-existent.
