Performance stuff wears. If you want good stopping power and feel, expect dust and reduced brake life. Same goes for tires.

There has been noticeably less dust with the Project Mu NS400 front pads. Also helps to apply sort of protective coating (Opticoat Pro+ in my case) to the wheel as it is much easier to clean and perhaps the dust does not want to stick to the coating.

I'm using StopTech pads. Less dust and quite a bit less squeaks. Only using the car for DD duties and it's fine.

I've enjoyed my Hawk ceramic pads.

Low dust, OEM bite, good for fast road use, but not tried the track as yet.

Hawk now offer a full set of these. Only did fronts when I got mine, but after contacting Hawk, they agreed to develop and produce matching rears.

Should be able to source them from Hawk's site if you take a look.

I'm another supporter of the Stoptech pads. Eliminated my low speed squeal and considerably less dust.

Agreed. I love 'em. To be fair, I've not tried any other low dust/noise pad. Regardless, I'm so happy with these for daily use, I'm hesitant to take a chance on another. Very low dust & they've been pretty much silent since the day they were installed. Also, they grip well enough for some occasional sporty driving and quick flashes of hooniganism during my commute

On the other hand, I need choose my next track pad

^^^^Yes Project Mu has Street Pads (NS400)

Street/Track dual purpose pads (HC+800)

and Track Pads are available, though I am not familiar with the various compounds.

Look Here:

Note, I am running Ferodo DS2500 front pads and Project My HC+800 on my rears and am extremely happy with the combo.

Thank you again, Lou! We love the Project Mu NS400 daily street use applications since they rival some of the lowest dusting brake pad compounds known to man but do so without sacrificing the performance you expect from your F. Here are the direct links to the website:

Project Mu NS400 PS4F160 D1365 Lexus IS-F Front
Project Mu NS400 PS4R106 Lexus ISF IS-F Rear

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Project Mu HC+800 and Club Racer will both be great on track. They will also have compatible transfer layers to the NS400 so there will be no issues swapping back and forth between street and track pads if you were to choose to do that.
