Pick some pads for me please
I currently have porterfield R4S on my car and they are dying.
I want some street pads that
a) bite hard when braking hard down from 120mph+
b) don't dust like mad
Minimal dusting is important to me because I don't have a place to wash my car.

Another vote for Hawk HP+

for info on the other compounds. Sounds like HPS would be good.

Tampax.
I just painted some LegGT wheels using the duplicolor graphite and it's dark.
As for pads. Seriously for a street car you're limited to the tires ability to brake on a shitty street surface so the most badass pads will either:
A) Allow you to lock up quicker and skid on the shitty surface or
B) induce the ABS.
There won't be much difference between a decent less dusty pad and a rotor chewing race pad for a daily driver.
How retarded do you really drive on the street?

If you get over 100mph on the highway, which is easy, then need to panic stop, typical street pads will just glaze over.
I had that happen to me with HPSs, at 80mph, on my stock 1.6L brakes and ordered 1.8L brackets and rotors and HP+ pads the next day.
