This is probably the best for a normal daily driver. It's good enough for cold as well as summer temps. Although i am not convinced it will work better than the OEM pads. Maybe in terms of dusting, there'll be less, but performance-wise, not sure.

I have the ST SP's and am completely happy with them, even for light track duty.

Dust a bit more is an understatement though.

I can will my silver wheels to be gunmetal in a matter of a few days. It's cool, actually, as i can swap wheel colors on the fly.

I have never been a fan of the HPS. They just don't reach operating temp fast enough for me, especially during winter, and can't take track heat very well either.
