I've had a lot of braking imrpovement with the Carbotech "green" pads.  They
are really great for autocross since they have a really high CF at cold temps
but don't wear like Carbo Kevlar.  The modulation is better and lockup is less
of an issue.  They squeak a little but are just the thing for autocross.
