They have different grades of brake pads, from good to best.

Careful here... when you say "High Performance" you really need to qualify what you mean.

With brakePads... some of the so-called "High Performance" stuff is intended for track or racing use only. You may have trouble stopping unless the pads are red-hot. This is because they are intended to be "up to temparture" before they start to work.

Also, pads that tend to have higher friction (better stopping power) also tend to create a LOT of black dust on your wheels. Are you prepared to wash your wheels every couple days?

The original manufacturer knew what they were doing when they built your car. It is often best to go with a "mild upgrade" from stock. You will notice the difference and not need to warm up your brakes every time you start driving just so they will work.

One alternative is to use "Ceramic" brakepads. These produce much less black dust on your wheels. Many folks like the improved friction they offer too. However, you MUST replace rotors when switching between brakepad technologys. This is because the rotors get burnished with a layer from the pads before they start to work properly. Changing pads while leaving the old rotors with the burnishing on them may be incompatable.
