1. Drag coefficient is the measuring amount for stopping bite. Higher the number the more bite.
2.

Acceptable street only pads (I will post information that I know about them):
Satisfied GranSport GS5: 100-850F, .49 drag coefficient
Satisfied GranSport GS6: 100-700F, .42 drag coefficient
GiroDisc Magic: 150-850F
Ferodo DS2500: 100-1000F, .50 drag coefficient
Porterfield R4-S: 0-1000F (0-600F optimal), .4 drag coefficient
Brembo OEM pads
Racing Brake ET300
Performance Friction Z
Hawk HPS: 0-600F, low/no bite (glazed over on my street setup) PICS HERE
Hawk HP+: 0-700F, better bite can be noisy on street good for autocrossing
Axxis Ultimates (ULT): 0-932F, .40 to .49 drag coefficient (true number unknown)

So a brake pad with .50 drag will brake better than one than with .40..also what is the temp measure used for?
is the Ferrodo as good as it looks?

1. Yes.
2. MOT (Max Operating Temp) is the heat limit to which the pads can perform work.
3. Ferrodo DS2500s are good - but more expensive. I recommend the Satisfied GranSport GS5's over them.

Hawk HPS sounds suitable for your application.

My old man's 1997 Acura 3.5RL is riding on GS-6. He hesitated when I installed them since I've always installed OEM products on his car, but now loves the pads. I actually picked up another set today from tirerack.

The 2500's are great pads (great bite, quiet, good feel, fade resistant). Are they worth the extra cash? I think they are better than Hawk, Racing Brake, and OEM for street use. To be honest I'm not concerned with the price when it comes to brake pads, and I've been very pleased with the Ferrodo pads. They put off some dust but I dont keep my wheels clean anyhow. If the GS5's are similar and less expensive then they might be a good choice. From the specs they look to have similar bite with a little less temp range.

I've had some pretty good luck with RacingBrake ET500's. The only thing not ideal about them in my opinion is that they perform best when hot, and that takes a bit longer than the stock pad. I autocross quite a bit and the difference is noticable between my first and second runs. After the first run though, the performance is excellent and consistent.
Here's a thread I made about them: Racing Brake ET500 pads review
