I know in fact that focus is no meanie but he's not kidding when he says "there are about 3 posts a week" on this subject. never the less in the spirit of welcoming you to our fold this is how it breaks down; cool carbons for dustless upgrade from oe pads with nice modulation and decent heat tolerance. then you have the EBC stuff (sorry can't give you first hand experience but heard the yellows are pretty decent). there's Ferodo's DS2500 which are standard pads that come with Brembo BBKs. they have even better heat tolerance and are considered best dual use pads out there. for dedicated track pads you have the Hawk DTC 70/60 which are probably the most popular and best marketed pads and then you have Pagid RS29 pads which are considered full blown endurance race pads. of course these are the pads that are available only for brembo calipers that come standard with our cars. there are other options if you choose to upgrade BBKs like performance friction and what not. I may have missed a few but chances are they are not that great if not mentioned here. hope that helps
