FS,
Both Hawk and Porterfield have lines of E36 M3 brake pads for street,
street/track and track only.
However, you need to know that there is not such thing as a good
street/track pad. The two types of uses are mutually exclusive by pad
material temperature range. And street/track that straddles both ranges is
not ideal for either one.
Long story short, buy one set of street and another set of track only pads.
Swap them as necessary.
