I would contact Andie at Colbalt, look in my sig for the link. I'm pretty sure he will tell you to go with Axis Ultimates. I have these and they are great pads.

I think carbotech is a little cheaper on their H-T pricing for axxis ultimates. FYI

AEM is good because it doesn't dust and offers good daily driver sprited driving. ok for auto-x and lapping but no where near the best. It is a good daily driver pad for people who like decent performance with minimal brake dust.

get some raybestos those kick butt and their only 50 bucks. No brake dust or they have the anti squeak stuff and they brake really well. I have tried out a few other brake pads and i think the ray from pepboys are the best...ask around you'll see.
I just think the others are way over priced for such average braking.
