So far have gotten two different answers from my "brake guys":
KNS told me to try the ST43 because it's a little bit lower friction but still gives good life. They have used it on cars with street tires and didn't experience ABS intervention. I asked about the DS2500 and he said no, that's a street pad (I disagree, it's a hybrid). Kinda pricey at $400 for the front axle though.
Zeckhausen suggested going back to a hybrid pad like the DS2500, and that I should just monitor consumption. I had actually used them after I got the car and found them to be decent -- no fade and consumption on par with the Hawks. Ended up dumping them because the Hawks were cheaper. The Ferodos are about $300 for the front axle and have come down a bit in price it seems.

I agree with the brake guy. DS2500 is a street pad. Hybrid is a fallacy. Doesn't exist. Only people that say that are vendors/salespeople and inexperienced forum people repeating the same thing like a parrot.
I will not be using PFC buit have the same calipers as you. IIRC 4362.08.19.44 fits? FWIW, GTR IS the thicker pad. All the rest while the same shape... are thinner.
