On set of Hawk Blues lasted me all 7 races of the OTC.  How did your Ferodos 
do?  Are they really streetable at cold temps (the HBs aren't really, they chew 
up rotors if the pads aren't hot enough for the copper in them to melt and 
lubricate things properly).

Ferodos are awesome!  Not a lot of people know about them.  Jay at Ground
Control introduced me to them and I've been using them ever since.  I ran
them at the Open Track Challenge and at the Nationals.  I use them on the
street every day.  Great grip, no squeal.

 I am about to do the brakes on my Miata. Does anyone have any
recommendations
or personal experiences with different brands?

 I have been thinking about the following

 Axxis Metal Master

 Axxis Ultimate

 EBC Green stuff Kevlar

 Hawk

 I realize that for autocross the stock pads are fine. What I want an
improvement
in is for stopping power at freeway speeds. However I don't want pads that
will
increase peddle effort or need warming up before they work. I also don't
want
them to be noisy.

 Any recommendations?
