Anyone go with MAP Stage 2 Brake Package??

Hey Guys, my brakes are fried and I'm looking to upgrade. I was going to go with the MAP stage 2 package and was wondering has anyone used those pads before?
I usually track my car twice a month and other then that daily drive my car.
Now, what would be an upgrade for the brake pads, a level higher then the "Magic Pads"? Any feedback on this would be great.

Below is what they include..
Package Includes

* Girodisc "Magic Pads" Front & Rear
* Techna-Fit Stainless Steel Brake Line Kit
* 1 liter of ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid
* RotorPros Performance Plus Brake Rotors

Magic pads are absolute garbage, worse than stock. I really like ferodo ds2500's.

Track I would say more drag racing. I do to go auto-cross tracks about once every two months and drag racing every month. Actually my brakes went to ****..well like an idiot i forgot to change out my brake fluid and was running stock fluid. THAT went bad on my 3rd twenty minute run, my brake pedal got real spongy.When I felt that I just ended it there and was a spectator for the rest of the time.
So now I'm looking for a fresh pair , and n2oiroc I ALWAYS APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK. I know you've helped me out a couple of times in the past also!

Did they make any noise? Lots of brake dust?

I read your post in the stick forums! GREAT WRITEUP. I wanted something more of a mix between of daily driven and track. Of course I do beat on my car quite often on the street.

I call track - road racing. In which, you need 2 sets of pads.

Street - StopTech pads are good for DD/AX duty.
Track - Race proven pads - see my list.

I've been using ATE Super Blue for years in numerous cars and it's always worked well for it; it's specs are just below Amsoil DOT4, but it lasts longer and is 1/3 the price.

ATE SuperBlue and Amsoil DOT4 here. Swap between the two (blue to clear = easy to flush).

ATE makes an amber as well; same specs as the Blue, but a different color for easy flushing.

They just plain didnt stop the car well and the pedal felt soft and unresponsive like cheap organic pads.
