I can tell you pad selection is huge. I just went to an aggressive wilwood pad and its night and day just from swapping the pads.
For 180$ it was the cheapest yest largest impact on performance I have done to the car.
dont scrimp - and look at the friction coefficient and how it varies at the different temp ranges based on how you drive for when you select the pads.HPDE is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
So much to learn......so much $$ to do so lol

The EBC Yellow stuff are very grippy when cold and hot. I got tired of having to heat up my pads for normal street driving. These seem to be an excellent compromise. They do dust a little though.
