Default Brembo upgrade - pads for street?

I am in the process of upgrading the stoppers on the white bus to Brembos, the calipers I bought came with some sensational pads (Project Mu HC+) but I've been told its probably not the best things to run around with on the streets as they are pretty aggressive track pads.

QFM HPX seem to be pretty well regarded - any other suggestions?

Another one for QFM A1RM - should be more than you EVER need on the street.

I have the HPX on at the moment, and they are nothing short of stellar for the street or the odd day at the tracks. Pretty much no/very low dust when doing street duties. It doesn't make any noise as well as that's always a plus for street duties.

In saying that, my pads do seem to smoke up when I take it out to the long track out at RAC. It started smoking after about 6 or 7 laps. Still, I am very happy with them especially when you factor in the performance for the price you pay.

so they should after 6 or laps of long track - thats a fair chunk of work to do in one hit

Run the HC+.

Bitches love the sound of squealing brakes as you roll up to the drive-thru

I'm running the A1RMs also. They were a bit noisy at first but after a couple of track days the noise disappeared.
