For a street car? I'd recommend Hawk HPS. If you're doing any track driving there are better options that hold up to heat better.

BTW, you should try a search, this is covered a lot.

This is a good one to check out other's opinions of setups. Some setups don't cover the stock braking system (different calipers, etc.), but there's a lot of useful things on there.

I've been using a "street compound" pad from Porterfield Racing for several years with good results...

I recently chose Hawk HPS for mine. Haven't driven on them yet but I'm sure they wont disappoint.
