I definitely want something with low or no dust and no noise. Please post your ideas and links to websites if you have one. I would appreciate any input. Thanks! I would recommend hitting up the major brake companies sites and going through the tech info.. I like the Baer Brakes site... You should also look at proper rotor seasoning and pad bedding as well as proper torque on the lug nuts. All will help extend the life of the rotors/pads... AFA pads, well, you honestly don't need much of a performance pad.. I used the EBC Ultimaxx pads and thought they where great, and I was doing some HARD driving in my Subie.. Tire Rack sells them, some digging and see what you find.. EDIT:

In fact, it can make for some LONGER braking distances, because the brakes have a harder time keeping "some" heat in them.. Most performance pads need some heat to bite good... So if the brakes are constantly at a lower overall temperature, they have to heat further, faster, for the bite to take place.. I've run them, but i've also chased friends through the mountains of VT.. where I needed something more than a solid rotor could offer.. They do look nice, though, I must admit....
