OE on the 88 S and later 951s is actually Textar. Pagid is stock for S2 and non S 951 cars.

I'd try Pagid Orange - streetable and probably a proper choice for your usage -

I've used Ferodo DS Performance pads for two years now with brand-new rotors and they're excellent choice for 90% street/10% track car. They are comparable to DS2500 (old designation).

For more track time I'd use Performance Friction pads as they provide absolutely best lifetime, no squeal (even without factory dampeners) AND superb bite though they need a bit more driving to get to the best range. Price is a bit higher than Ferodo DS's.

Default Dude.

Was having the same problem. Threw on a set of HPS’s, and was praying every time I came up on an aggressive downhill section in the canyons, even after numerous bleedings— then I found Carbotech. XP 10 in the front, XP8 in the rear. Holy schneickes. It stops so hard, it exposed ball joint slop I didn’t know I had😳 A little noisy, but goddamn....
