A lot of the locost racers use EBC green stuff.

I use 1144 on my striker front and stock sierra on the back.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Another vote for 1144 (as used on my old Striker and going on the new one) 
edited to add that was with princess calipers on the front and 9" escort drums on the back.

EBC yellow stuff, new compound is excellent and doesn't require any heat.
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

I used Yellowstuff on my tintop, they were excellent and cheap.
Dusty though.
I've got Greenstuff that came with my locost, not too bad so far but haven't taken it on a track yet.

I wouldn't fit any of the ones mentioned so far
Hawk pads are the best I've used on light weight cars, Ferodo DS2500 or DS3000 if you can't get Hawk pads to fit.

I've just fitted Hawk DTC-30, agree with Jeff that they perform great but in my case generating a lot of sparks...
Previously used 1144 which were pretty good, 1155s which I couldn't get hot enough and were therefore shit, and DS2500 on a boxster which are
very good on that car.

Ferodo DS2500 or DS1.11 (for more bite and can take more abuse), both good.
