Default I need advices for new brake.

Season is over and recently I've got introduce to lapping. I don't think it's necessary to tell how finish my "stock" brakes are after 4 days of lapping in that last month. Now before I put my car to bed I would like to get some new brakes (prices are down atm).

I came here looking for advice...

I would like to improve my breaks to something more track ready. However, I don't want them to be good in extreme heat only and squeak when I brake during my daily driving. What should I go for?

What I want;

-Brakes that will last stronger on a track
-Brakes that will not squeak around town when I drive it slow.
-Brakes that will break harder (more efficient).

The rest is bonus, if they're bigger/sexier it's always nice but not 100% needed.

What you guys think I should go for?

P.S. Sorry, I'm not real good in english.

You can't have everything. You can have brake pads that are a little better for the track and a little squeakier or dustier, or pads that are a lot better for the track but terrible for the street. It seems like people who wreck stock pads on the track switch between track and street oriented pads before and after their track events.

If pads like that existed, Honda would have made those the stock brakes.

Like Ortho said, either get a compromise street/track pad that will dust a lot on the street and still might suck on the track or get a set of track pads for the track and stock pads for the street. You might want to try the compromise street/track pads, but if you get somewhat fast they won't be good enough for the track either. IMO if you are going to be serious about going lapping and go often, just go straight to the track pads and learn to swap them out. In any case you'll want to change out the brake fluid for some good high temperature fluid and then bleed it regularly.
