Brake pad recommendations?

supraking · 04-13-2010, 08:57 PM

Looking for some new pads that provide equal or better performance than OEM pads, while reducing or maintaining the same level of brake dust. Basically I don't want a drop in either category. Any recommendations (from personal experience)?

Cool Carbon S/T pads. Great for street/track use. Low noise/dust with a operating temp range greater than some dedicated track pads.

Perfect, thanks guys. Was considering cool carbons since I keep seeing them as the top pick in Bavarian Auto's magazines but wanted some feedback first.
