Best street used brake pads

I have 05 coupe with non-brembo and currently I am looking to replace my front and rear brake pads. After some research; I have Endless Vita Nuova and Project U NS in mind.
What do you think of them?
Which one has better stop power on the street?
Where can I get the best price for them?

Thanks for help

I don't know if you have the same setup as the 05' sedan, but I replaced mine with EBC "green stuff" pads. I think they work a little better than stock, however, if I was to do it again, I think I would go back to stock. Why? Because after 25K miles, you could hardly tell there was ANY wear on the rotors or pads. The rotors were PERFECT! I just slapped the EBC in there and now there are the usual grooves in the rotors.

It's gonna be hard to beat oem for cold stopping power, but aftermarkets will have better fade chracteristics.

My mechanic friends also suggest me to get OEM pads
I don't know what to choose -.- lol
where is the best place to buy Endless and Project U pads?
I know Mynismo.com carries them, but they have horrible service.

I am going with Project U NS street pads
I've only heard good things about them and the price is quite reasonable too.

My experience with Mynismo.com was great. I bought supplies for an entire brake upgrade and maintenance. The price, help on the phone, and speed of shipping were fantastic...that was in October or November.

Yes! They do have great pricing and all
but they did not answer any of my questions regarding to the products.
as I was ready to buy, they did not give me an exact price that I need to pay and I had to ask them again after 2 weeks of waiting.
Now I rather pay more and receive better asssistance
However they are my first and hopefully the only bad experience i'll have.
