Default 93 Civic Hatch DX Brake Pad Choice

Car will be setup ready for mostly HPDE's at 2100lbs without me in it.

- brake ducting will be used
- car has ITR front and rear brakes
- RS Master Cyl
- RS prop valve
- no ABS
- R compound tires are to be used

When I owned my ITR I was using Ferodo DS3000 and I loved those pads but I believe they aren't what I am looking for at this point hence the weight of the vehicle vs an ITR. Can anyone lend some first hand experience on what is working and what isn't in terms of a linear pedal feel as well as a balanced setup? I was thinking GT sports on the rear but a front pad I can't get a good feeling on to start with.

Thanks guys

I'd call Andie at Cobalt. They've got a wide variety of their own pads as well as those of other brands, and they know their stuff. I'm sure they can recommend something that will meet your needs best.
