There's no better brake pad for street only use than Carbotech 1521s. This is a new in box front/rear set for stock NSX calipers. Since I went with StopTech ST-40s a few years ago, they're also wearing 1521s. You and your brakes will love these things.

The Carbotech™ 1521™ is our high performance street compound. The 1521™ compound is known for its release and modulation, along with unmatched rotor friendliness. 1521™ is also a very low dusting and low noise compound with an excellent initial bite. This compound’s excellent linear torque production provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention. Carbotech™ 1521™ operating range starts out at ambient and goes up to 800°F (426°C+). 1521™ is suitable for ALL street cars, perfect for your tow vehicle or fleet vehicle. Carbotech™ 1521™ is NOT recommended for ANY track use.
For the record, I've done several HPDE weekends, a few autocross weekends and a ton of miles on The Tail Of The Dragon and surrounding roads with 1521s with no ill effects.
