Mostly street...stick to mild compounds designed for street temperatures like Hawk HPS, Greenstuff, Porterfield R4S, etc.

Stock fronts with Cobalt GT sportsin the rear is what I use on my 94R.
You will skid the rears first under heavy braking when pads are hot so be careful you do not oversteer off the road when braking heavily and turning...
Initially, you can skid fronts but the rears will begin locking once weight has been transfered fully.(this all depends on your setup of springs/shocks/tires/wheels/alignment too..)
You need to bed all pads in correctly too....
