The 309 stoptech sports compared to the stock pads there is a noticeable increase in heat capacity and slightly better initial bite. More than just "barely better" than stock pads. Where the stock pads would fade, such as toward the bottom of a downhill run, on the stoptechs I'd have to be really pushing. At the track, depending on the driver they might last one lap or more, but they definitely did last for many more miles after a full track day.

Not sure what pad (Stoptechs) these other guys are using where it performs worse than stock, but I highly doubt they're the same ones ive been using.

The TRD pad seems to be similarly priced to the Stoptech sports, maybe a $10 more per pair. Worth a shot. For me, TRD pads would be a question mark that would cost me extra $20 to answer. I'd stick with a sure thing in the stoptechs, since I already know what to expect.
