Question Pagid - Which one has strong initial "bite"?

Which of the streetable Pagid pads have the best initial bite? I am looking for something to replace my Ferodo DS2500s and want to try a Pagid pad. The stock 993 pads "feel" good but don't have the fade resistance required for any aggressive track/DE use. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Probably best to get separate street and track pads. A 993 pad change is the simplest of any car I've owned since my first in 1970.

Performance Friction 97 compound works great on the track, but squeals like crazy on the street.

You don't like the Ferodos? Or is it a matter of reduced braking chen the pads are cold?

I do like the Ferodos, but they aren't perfect

It isn't so much a matter of hot vs. cold, I just don't think they have enough initial bite. Some like a pad that comes in "soft" to help keep their braking technique smooth, but I like a strong initial bite!

What is the Pagid just above the street pad?
