its been over a year since i've used the cobalts, so some of the details are fuzzy, so i'm going off of remembered thoughts of the time. i'm not sure if brake torque and/or bite is synonymous with pads being easier to modulate... i feel like i've been happy with the dsuno and cf cr1's bite and torque, but brake release and modulation is not a complaint of mine. now, i'm typically on nt01's, so a bit more grip than a street tire.
i run ds2500's on the street. great pads. i have ran them as backups at the track and they hold up pretty good, but these ap j-hook rotors eat them up fast in track conditions.

at the very least, pick up the phone and speak with andie at cobalt friction. he's a stand up guy and will be able to point you in the right direction based on what you're describing what you want out of a pad.
