Are there any aftermarket pads available for the 2005 sport brakes?

Stoptech told me that Hawk makes a pad but it's really no better than stock. I need something that I can use for street and track. In other words, I need something better than stock but I don't need a dedicated track pad.

Anyone, anyone... Bueller??

The street use is the problem oem must work cold at the first stop of the day when things are below 32F.................even in summer the first stop is 70-90F........whereas track performance assume you warm things up to 200-400F.

A single lock up 60>0 stop doesn't raise the rotors 150F.

I understand the function and design issues with OEM/street pads. That's not what I'm asking.
