Bosch blue brake pads?
Anyone use these?
What can you say about them?
I use my car as primarily a weekender now.
I don't track it
I'll go for a spirited drive on the hills maybe 3-5 times a year.
Other than that, it just goes from point A to point B on the weekend.
Although i do run a semi slick compound on it, I.e Dunlop Direzza ZII
I don't want to put pads on i don't need or that will chew up by rotors.

I can't comment on the Bosch blue pads, but for us Aussies, if you are looking for a high performance street pad, I highly recommend Project Mu. I use the HC800 for street and track days and they haven't let me down so far. For just street use, you can probably go with the NS400. Z151 is the size for front and back, or z152 for the front if you have m030 front calipers.
They might be a bit pricey though for what you are after. Another cheaper aussie pad is the QFM A1RM, I still have those on the back in fact.

I didn't know they fit. Interesting.
I thought about them a while ago for when i needed to change up. Also thought about pagid. But again, they won't get used for what they are.
Hope someone can comment. I don't even know what i have on currently. but they lasted a while. (came with the car! in 2009) that's how much i use it, but they where new.

We've added the Bosch pads as fitments have become available. I haven't seen it listed yet for the standard turbo shape but they're generally pretty inexpensive. The Stoptech Street Performance pad may fit your needs as well.

I’m using Bosch blue pads on my 951 when I’m not using my Hawk track pads. I like them. They’re quiet but with a nice bite and have held up well to spirited mountain driving and even autocross (where I don’t generate enough heat to bother switching to Hawks). I also threw a set of fronts on my 914 and they’re working well.
