Need advice in finding good street pads

Hey fellow G35 drivers I have a 04 G35 manual coupe with Brembos and is time to change the pads. Im just wondering with is a good set of pads for a car that hasn't been on the track yet but do spint when a SRT4 or suckstang **** me off lol. I've found a set called Kool Vue Kevlar/ceramics, for under $50, but coworkers say it will cause more rotor wear. If anybody has any advice please help me out. Also i can't afford project MU or Hawks right now cause of limited funds.

What's your budget, for all four corners?

Even the oem pads cause rotor wear, don't see that as a cause for concern until you get into the much more expensive high friction track based pads. To me it's a cost of entry for having pretty good brakes from the factory, subjectively speaking.
