Sort of like asking for a super sticky tire, that also is long lasting. By design a track or street pad will be at different ends of the pad spectrum and making something in the middle means it performs poorly in both cases.

Nothing to stop you from running OEM pads on your track day, just bring a replacement set so you can drive home safely. I expect they'll be fried.

have done ferodo ds2500 for street and track duty for a few years and loved it aside from the dusting.

i tried carbotech xp10 front xp8 rear for street and don't bother if you are easily embarrassed by squeal. i'm on stock fronts and xp8 rear now and will swap back out to xp10 front for track duty

I'd still say endless cc-x if u search hard enough u can probably find old stock...

I've only ran hawk hps and IMO they squeak on streets, some brake lube helps but eventually it squeaks again.. Good pad though

I'm running stoptech pads rite now and i must say, they dust like a mofo... Lol It's one of the reasons I sold my white te's... 2 days after wash and it's practically overdue for another good cleaning..

I second the suggestion of running seperate pads for street and track use.... For street, oem is best, IMO , track wise is your choice... But only thing I have been advised to stay away from is EBC whatever color shit lol... never tried it but was told from many to stay away..

This is what I am currently running on the street - youre right, dust central! But its easy to wash off; thats the good thing!

Good to know. My car has practically been parked since the last track day so I haven't had a chance to see their long-term street wear. If I start doing more street driving in the car again, I will switch back to my stock pads and rotors to save these expensive pads.
