In general, any pad that is rated for "street" use will be fine for that purpose. You won't run into cold-braking issues until you get to a full-race pad. Race pads will also have the side effect of being EXTREMELY abrasive when they're not at full operating temp, thus destroying your rotors (and themselves) very quickly in a street driving environment. They're also very noisy in that condition. But, get them up to operating temp on the track and they're magical!

Get whatever Garm has that he recommends for street use. Be happy.
