What is a good brand racing brake pads for evo's?

Good brands (if you pick the right compound) are Project µ, Pagid and Ferodo.
Bad brands: Mintex, EBC, OEM pads and other "tuning" pads.
Pagid RS 14 are great (temp rating, friction coef, bite) but dusty.

I've got two track days at VIR at the end of the month, and I'm thinking I wont have any pads to go with!!!

Given the car is so new, no wonder the pads arent available yet in the USA. You could try ordering them from a motosports spare parts supplier in the UK (they more or less speak your language 
).

We typically stock Pagid RS4 (blue) pads and Ferodo DS3000 pads for the front and rear of Evo's with Brembo brakes as well as the smaller 2 piston calipers that came on the RS cars. We currently do not have any front Brembo rotors in stock but will be getting some soon as well as a 2-piece rotor/mounting hat setup. Please email me for prices.

. He has street and track pads for the evo 5/6/7/8 Brembo calipers. Excellent customer service. Cool Guy. I ordered a set of Hawk street pads from him. They should be in Jamaica by next week Monday. Will let you know how they work out.

I recommend the Ferodo DS3000 for track use. (he has them in stock).

EBC did not work on my street car (98 DSM AWD) at all, never mind my A/X car, overheated and died. Perhaps their latest iteration is good - I haven't tried it, but they certainly are good in that respect (all 6 of my motorcycles run EBC). I am currently using Porterfield R4S in my street car and Porterfield R4-1 in my autocross car (95 DSM AWD). If the R4-1s hold up even passably on the 95 I absolutely _WILL_ use them in my 98 for street duty - they are something else. R4S pads can bring Hoosier AS03 to lockup (with effort) no problem, although they do overheat and fade with excessive LFB. So far, R4-1s are significantly better under street conditions - I'll find out tomorrow (later today ?) how good they are under a/x conditions.
