AEM makes decent pads for street. IMO, pads don't matter much if you are just doin 1/4 mi stuff. As long as they stop you before you run out of pavement.

just be aware that most of the high performance pads will dust a lot.

i was running porterfield rs4 pads for a while and they were great. also check out hawk, axis, and project mu pads

I'm very happy with my Axxis Ultimates. Good comprimse for the street and track as far as I can tell. Only had brake fade once on the backstretch of Mid-Ohio during a 20 minute run.
