Idc about brake dust, my TE's are caked with dust. I just care about performance and noise, i dont want to be the guy that you hear braking from half a block away.

^Then depending on availability and price, I'd consider the high-friction OEM pads and the Akebono ceramics. Both great for aggressive street-use. Surprisingly, I like the HF OEMs more than the Akebono; but the weekly baths got old quick.

Hi where did you buy them?
