brake pad advise needed

Hi, I have BAER Track-kit with 13" rotors and EBC Green pads which need to be replaced, any suggestions for good quiet not dusty pads - for street and occasional track use?

Re: brake pad advise needed

Okay so I went for Hawk HPS pads and have to say not impressive - dusty, squeaky and not delivering enogh stopping power at track - I use car sometimes for roadracing. Can anyone recommend any decent pads who will be okay both for street and occasional roadracing.

I have Hawk HPS pads and have had no problem with them. They were a bit loud for a week or so, but I don't hear any noise from them any more. They also dusted quite a bit in the first week or so but not any more.

Perfomance Frition Z-Rated pads. No dust and work very well.

Re: brake pad advise needed

Why not have some true performance pads and a set of rotors for them and switch when you're going to the track?

Well yes, I made a couple of hundred miles on street before going to track.

Well I roadrace just for fun a couple of times per month during May-October and that is not a real race - more like training so to have full extra set of preformance brakes and change it every time will be a bit overdone...
