I've got dry... but either is fine. Just didn't want to mess with the oiled version.

You undoubtedly have much more experience than I do, but I'd agree the OEM are pretty damn good. As a newbie I am pretty heavy on the brakes (had a pro take my car around the track too) and the stock pads were phenomenal with zero fade for a full day (8 x 30 minute sessions). It was pushing 95 degrees out too.

Yep, they really are that good. I did 2 full days of some hot laps, with zero issues. I recently changed to G-Loc, as I wanted a more dedicated 'track pad', but absolutely nothing wrong with the OEM pads.

Absolutely love my Z26 powerstop pads from the day I installed them! I was amazed to see little to no dust after the first 25 miles. My stockers would leave a brown, powder haze after a trip around the block. My car is a weekend cruiser, mainly to cars & coffee and occasional shows, no heavy pulls or track days for me to appreciate what this car is capable of, I just love the way it looks!
