Just to add to the mix carbotech xp8. By far the best pad I've experienced but will destroy your wheels however clean you keep them.

These are road legal (ECE R90 approved):

- Cosworth StreetMaster
- Ferodo DS Performance
- Pagid "S" Clubsport

Performance will suffice on street with R32 set up. If you want better feel get Tyrol bushings.


BTW, when occasional tracking matters, consider the NEW Endless MXRS.

Certainly sufficient for most "fast road". There are better non road legal pads though.

the best fast road brake pads

Endless MX72 and MXRS. Period.

If you ask for the best, you have to pay the price.  :evilgrin:

Those who have tried the MX72 (many Megane RS drivers) or even the much more
expensive MA45B (> 800,-- per axle, endurance full track material) report about
unequaled wear characteristics. The pads last at least twice as long, and the rotors
do the same (with these pads). I bet the new MXRS cannot be any worse. Certainly
this will be my next brake pad. VERY certainly.
