Wagner ThermoQuiet is what I have on my car. I like them for DDing but have some brake fade trying to slow from 120mph to 55mph. Not that I would know or anything.

I like the wagnerthermo's too..cheap, but good. Also, look into some ceramic pads..they hold up better, and greatly reduce the brake dust situations..

Aren't ceramics also known for killing rotors though?

Yeah, ceramics also don't bite well when cold. They also don't heat up as much because the are ceramic, so for daily driving they are always cold and sucky. Ceramics are mainly a track pad.

Ceramics are actually a decent street (not performance) pad. They have better cold bite than semi-metallics, don't dust, and don't squal.

I tried ceramics (don't remember which brand, Raybestos?) and their initial bite was very poor. If you were doing a 120-55 stop, they would heat up and bite around 90. The porterfields are great pads too, but are about $80 if I remember right.
