Street Brake Pad Thoughts...

I currently own Axxis Ultimate brake pads and they perform really well.... However the brake dust is ridiculous to say the least!!!!

I'm looking for a good street pad that will give me good braking on and off the track!

What are your favorite pads?
Cost?
Noisey?
where to get?
Any comparisons?

I'm very close to buying new pads since it just doesn't have that "feel" anymore even with new fluids and proper bleeding. The ones I've been looking at are the Carbotech Bobcat street ones. Those get pretty good reviews, they are fade resistant to ~900F, quiet, and very low dusting. Alot of 4EAT owners have recommended those pads. I believe they're about 230/set.

I will need pads soon,

I'll be ordering Carbotech Bobcats for street, and probably Panther XPs for track (will talk to Matt first).

I have the Carbotech Bobcats for my STi, but haven't put them on yet (plan to milk the stock brakes for all they have). They claim less dust, rotor friendly, etc....
