best daily driver high performance brake pads

Hawk street pads are overrated, overhyped by internet forums. Carbotech and Cobalt Friction are both excellent pads, a little expensive though.

Buddy has them because he got them free and he hates them. Every track person I have talked to is rather meh about them as well. Never ran them myself, but 9/10 people replying "meh" is enough to make me not buy them.

If it was a street car that I wanted to upgrade, I would be willing to give these a try on the Z Products | Power Stop

I put a set of them on our ford Explorer and have been very impressed with them so far, for ~600 /700 bucks 4 rotors and 4 pads, it was a huge, huge ,gain on the truck's braking.
