Default Difference In These Pads?

So, I have found the possible pads i plan on buying, the only thing is I'm not sure if they have been updated/refreshed.
These are the pads i was originally looking at: https://www.z1motorsports.com/brakes...1934aqvpop99b7
but there's these with like a new box design for like $45 less https://conceptzperformance.com/stop...70_p_27445.php
Not sure if there are any differences so any advice will be helpful. Unless you guys can recommend any other pads that will be better than oem for a reasonable price.

Hey! Welcome to the club.

I see you are shopping brake pads. I have some advice here...

The OEM pads are the best pad for the Z street driving, track... get Carbotech.

But i have yet to hear a review of an "awesome" brake pad when compared to stock.

Just a thought

For DD, I actually do not recommend the OEM pads because they leave uneven deposits... I run the StopTech street pads you have in your second link and I am happy with them so far. Keep in mind the link you posted on those is only for the rear pads.

See I have seen that the OEM pads aren't very good. And yes I realize those are only the rear lol couldn't find both on one link. Looks like I'll be going with those. Thanks Jayhova!

Ones StopTech "Street" the other is StopTech "Sport" hence the price difference, you can probably find better prices at more generic retailers. Street is not for any sort of competition use. Sport is good enough for autocross.

I believe forum vendor b2autodesigns carries the stoptech street pads with a good price for forum members.
