Which brake pads have you used that you liked the best.

I'm getting ready to do the Z32 brake conversion on my S13. I have the calipers, the Z32 MC, Brembo rotors, and I'm now looking for pads.

I've been looking all over, but nothing really seems to stand out as a clear leader.

I've tried Hawk, and I wasn't overly impressed with them. I've put the ones I'm considering as poll options.

Feel free to post something not listed if you had a good experience with it.

Axxis ultimates are cheap and get the job done for light track usage.

They weren't the HP +

They were on a different car. It wasn't that I didn't like them, I just wasn't really impressed with them.
