Ferodo, Repco and Velvet-touch come to mind right now
for brake pads.  I use the Ferodo DS-11 type pads for
my Sunbeam race car.  These are a metallic pad which
require proper warm-up for maximum stopping power.
Although they are metallic they don't rip up the
rotors as some pad materials do.  I have used Repco
pads on the racecar but found they really tore up the
rotors after only one race although the stopping
power was great.  The Ferodos are available mainly
for foreign cras I believe and can be gotten
at any good speed shop or race shop.  If you really
would like  a supplie drop me a line.  I don't
know if they are really the best in the business
but I know an awfully large part of the racing
world uses their pads and my own experience with
them leaves me going back for more.
