I liked the pagid blues, I am now running orange and actually like the bite better, even though they take some time to heat up like 5m. many will not care for this pad however because of the squealing like a pig under light braking. The solution, don't use light brakes ( I didn't buy a 14" brake kit for no reason)

Pagid RS14s - great for track, fine for street (RS14 = "black" std cup car pad)
don't even squeek that much now that i have new rotors on

I've noted that the pads don't squeal terribly unless there is a lot of brake dust, i.e. car needs a wash, or application of light pedal effort-

RS-14 Black..next week going to try I think they are called P-50 Green..Porsche Motorsport Pads.. RS-15 Grey. There more like the PFC 01 pad...20% more bite over the Blacks.

I do, but only on the track. This combo was recommended by viperbob, and love the balanced bite.

I swap out pads each time.

Pagid RS-29 (yellow, but so are the RS-19 and the street pad). Long life, great bite, easy on rotors - and not very loud on the street. Run them on both the Cup car for racing and the GT3 for DE.

Cheers,
Bruce

RS19 on Brembo floating, front and rear, with left-foot brake throttle kill disabled. Good modulation with no suprises.
