For street use the Carbotech 1521 pad.
Carbotech™ Bobcat 1521™ The Carbotech Bobcat 1521™ is our high performance street compound that is our most successful compound. The Bobcat compound is known for its awesome release and modulation, along with unmatched rotor friendliness. Like our AX™ & XP™ line of compounds, Bobcat 1521™ is a Ceramic based friction material offering minimal rotor damage and non-corrosive dust. Bobcat 1521™ offers outstanding performance, even when cold, low dusting and low noise with an excellent initial bite. This compound’s virtually perfect linear torque production provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention. Bobcat 1521™ operating range starts out at ambient and goes up to 900°F. Bobcat 1521™ is suitable for ALL street cars, perfect for your tow vehicle, police cruiser. The Bobcat 1521™ compound has been found to last two-three times longer than OE pads you can purchase at a dealership or national retailer. That’s one of the beauties of Carbotech Ceramic brake compounds. Bobcat 1521™ is NOT recommended for any track use.

Just a street car, but the braking just isn't enough. Can the Carbotech Bobcat 1521 give me a little better braking even before they heat up. I might upgrade to some bigger brakes in the future. Have '03 wheels and tires that really help in cornering but feels like I need better shocks than the originals w/Z52 package. I'm looking at QA 1. Any others I should check out.

The Carbotechs should help braking considerably. Even cool.
New Bilsteins would likely make a huge difference/improvement. If you're big on upgrading, the next shocks I get, I'm going to look hard at RIDETECH.

Hawks seem to be the go to around here.
hawk hps seems to provide a good balance of better stopping , wear, low noise, street/ mild track use - perhaps a little more dustier than stock though is only complaint
