Default Anyone running track pads on the street? Which ones and what do you think of them?

I'm hoping there is a pad I can run on the street and at the track. I'm quite the brake n00b, so any suggestions would be great. I'd like to stick with the stock caliper, but I'm possibly considering the ECS stage 3 993TT setup.

I've run Cobalt VRs and Pagid Oranges on the street, both work great.

There isn't a pad that you can run noise free on the street that will hold up on a road course.

Sorry for the n00biness, but do those fit stock caliper? Do the squeak on the street?

Neither fit the stock calipers, squeal like crazy (little kids get scared).

No, you can't. Just put up with the squeal, it's really not that bad anyway.
