    dont want squeal driving around town... sorry, youre out of luck.

    Ive got Hawk HP4+ and they work great. but they make a TON of dust and squeal so loud that it hurts ears for miles around.

      porterfield r4s, they don't start to squeal until they warm up, dust isn't terrible. Hold up pretty well at the track.

        If you are just doing a track day or two, and it isn't a dedicated track car and you don't want to be changing pads all the time before and after a track day, just go with a good quality name brand pad. Hawk and Performance Friction and others are good. Just go with their "street and light track" pads. You won't need any more pad than that unless it is a brutal track. You won't get much squealing and the dusting will be pretty low yet you will get good braking out of them and they will work when cold which is critical for street driving.

          Contact Dan Puskar at Carbotech (www.CTBrakes.com) for assitance with brake pads. I've run their brake pads for a number of years for track days and on the street. Good luck!

            Well I've not bought brake pads in awhile. So what is the Hawk HP4+ vs say just plain old HP+
