I'm actually partial to OEM. They work great when cold and take a reasonable amount of abuse.

I put some Axxis pads on my SE-R and hate them. I realize I'm in the minority there though. They work like crap until you get some heat in them. It can be pretty disconcerting IMHO. They don't work worth a hoot on a race track.

I prefer to use OEM on the street and if I'm going to the track and want to drive all out, I'll get some racing pads.
