Using a single part number family, the Street Select friction program contains both Semi-Metallic and Ceramic application-specific formulations.

Whereas the Street pads: StopTech Street Performance brake Pads are engineered to meet the demands of high performance driving while maintaining the refinement and comfort expected in everyday driving conditions. StopTech brake pads combine the benefits of premium street brake pads with aggressive friction formulas suitable for track day and autocross use. Para-aramid composites are specially formulated to provide linear response at both cold and hot temperatures, delivering optimum stopping performance over a wide range of driving conditions."

I had to replace my rears and found a deal on Street pads on Amazon. They had a "Used - Like New" in the original box and still wrapped (someone must have bought the wrong ones and returned them) for ~$18

And leave about a 1/4" into the scrub area unmasked so you'll get a clean cut line when you first bed in the pads.
