I like the Hawk HP+ a lot for street driving and autocross. They're harder on rotors than stock pads but... I dunno, stock rotors are cheaper than decent stock pads for the Integra. I think it was 60 bucks for HP+ pads and around $28 a rotor for Brembo rotors.

Porterfield R4-S pads. The carbon/kevlar material is easy on the rotors. It doesn't take a lot of time to heat up. Good initial bite even when cold.

If you do a lot of stop and go, they'll also sound a tad noisy. When you've accustomed yourself to these, going back to "normal" pads sucks. Noise and wear are tiny prices to pay.

when I was heading up to Dave's house to put my Carbotech Pansy Plus pads on, I had to stop pretty short from about 90mph on CT Ave bridge...those $40 Wanger pads didn't like that too much. My Pansy Pluses squeak a lot but knowing that I can stop is well worth it.

Ya know, I can't think of one single place I can drive 90mph, the entire length of Connecticut Avenue.

In fact, if it's the bridge that crosses over Rock Creek, my brother is frequently a PEDESTRIAN there, as that's his neighborhood. Ross shouldn't do 90mph 3 feet from a pedestrian, don't ya think? *Tripling(!) the speed limit!*

I thought I was the only person dumb enough to keep them on the car all the time.

They're easy on the rotors, as far as high performance pads go. However, the price you pay for both cold and hot performance is that they wear quickly when cold.
nope, mine are still on.

90 mph on *any* public street or highway

Argh......... stupid people like the drunk a$$hole that almost sideswiped me tonight in his durango.

Oh... i leave my panther plus's on. Being able to stop well (even in the rain) means i dont get hit by the aforementioned clown in his durango........
