Chris Wilson's IMO the best you can buy , i use the fast road compound but he also does a race/trackday compound which is messier and noisier but even more powerfull , i took the advice of another member with a big power sup who does trackdays and steered away from the porterfields , i am so immpressed with CW's i wouldnt think about anything else , i also have Steel lines and have removed the squeal shims but if you do this ask Chris for some of his blue goo !!!!

i'd back up Dudes comments re Chris Wilson pads. I haven't changed the hoses or put in new fluid yet but the improvement is massive for J-spec brakes.

I've got the Race spec ones and they squeal alot (under light braking mainly) and as has been said create alot of dust. This is not a problem for me running 16's but would be a big issue if i had £2K's worth of split rims, as you'd need to be constantly cleaning them.

Not sure what the dust and squeal is like on the fast road spec pads?

 

Having said all this i never found the need for uprated pads when i had my UK car, and if i own a supra in the future with UK spec brakes i'd stick with standard pads as for me the performance is great as standard and you get none of the potentially annoying side effects mentioned above.
