EBC Red or Yellow stuff. The yellows are for more racing. The reds are the higher performance street pads.

I would watch out with the EBC pads, they have a very high coefficient of friction and tend to easily warp rotors, which will cause pulsations. Personally, the stock pads in these cars are pretty good, I would just stick with them. Although, check out a post the Dezod (I think) made a couple days ago. They now have Hawk pads for sell, they would be better quality than EBC.

how about EBC Green Stuff. they look to be a little easier on the rotors but still sound promising
