low noise daily brake pads that work ok on the track?

Looking for pads behave well on the street and work ok on track. Idc about brake dust, just want minimal squealing for stopngo traffic. Ebc bluestuff looks promising and nicely priced. Anyone have experience with Ebc? Any other recommendations?

I've been using EBC blues for the past ~7k miles and am very happy with them. A tiny bit of squeal in certain conditions, less dust than oem, and grab is about similar to oem on the track. They do smell more though on track.

I second EBC Blue for what your want, Ive used Ferrodo DS2500 in the past but they faded more in extreme situations than the Blue.

Ive also read good comments on the Endless MX72 but they seem to be hard to find and very pricey.

Blues will overheat and fade if you actually drive the car hard on track. If you are driving 7/10ths they'll be fine. Once I had it happen the confidence was gone and I went straight to a track specific pad. Also they deposit like crazy on the rears.

Did you test the OEM pads on track, how would you compare them to the Blues ? I ran the OEM only one day with PS4S and afterwards switched to Cobalt a and Cup2.

OEM took one day th split in half at the compound. Once I started the push the car especially multiple laps in a row I ran out of pad with the blues. I now run Gloc pads and have no issues.
