    Brake Pads - Low dust, non-noisy, street/aggressive

    Can someone recommend a good street/aggressive brake pad that is low-dust and not noisy... ?

    I won't be using them for HPDE's --- if anything, only AutoX, but then just for fun and not for competition.

    I just hate cleaning BBS cross-spoke wheels every couple days... and I don't want them to squeal like li'l baby pigs are being murdered under the car.

    Thanks!

    I have been searching around and have found some good reviews, by people, about the R4-S's

      I've had good luck with Mintex "red box" pads.

        Low dust/noise and agressive performance are mutually exclusive. You can have either at the expense of the other. That said, a High Performance Street pad (Hawk HPS, Porterfield R4-s, etc) will provide better than OE performance and somewhat less dust.
        The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          I don't need supreme braking performance - just as good as stock, at least. But definitely less dust, geez..... these stock pads practically throw up a cloud when you hit the brakes.

            Performance Friction Z-rated pads. Awesome street pads and kept my BBS RS clean all summer long. I even used them on the track and they were quite good there too, as long as you have street rubber.

            I'm buying another set for my daily driver...
