Lucas pads
I ran them in the RX and now the GTB, never had fade, and I push my brakes.
I have had mate that ran them at a Calder park on a track day, and they lasted better then the RB74's he was running.

Running Lucas as well, had them on for around 3months now, awesome pads they pull up everytime and I drive my car pretty hard through the twisties. Expecting them to fade off but they haven't so far

I've got an 04 GT and have just done a rotor and pad upgrade. One of the problems with replacing the fronts is that there aren't all that many pads available that fit straight in without cutting so if you want to avoid the hassle of cutting then your choices are few. I'm running Endless on the front (can't remember the exact model but I'll find out) and they fitted straight in. They weren't cheap... $400 a pair but I wanted to beef up my car for the odd track day so money well spent. On the rear I'm running Galfer pads (again can't remember the exact model).
If you are in Sydney then give Tony at V-Sport a call. I found him heaps helpful.

just 3 weeks ago i got RDA slotted rotors with bendix 4WD pads put on the front of my RX.
although they take a wee bit to warm up before the hardcore braking kicks in, i reckon they're excellent. compared to what i previously had anyway.

I have just bought some DBA 4000 series drilled and slotted rotors for the front and normal RDA rotors for the back with Bendix 4WD pads for all four corners. Have had some delays on recieving my DBA rotors (Special order or something) but when i install them ill let you know how they go

I have now installed my new slotted rotors with DBA 4WD pads. Its good now cos i can brake properly without the car feeling like it was going to shake itself to pieces. I left the rear rotors on cos the new ones i was given were too small and the rear rotors were still allright. Here's some pics:
