A8 Brake Upgrade Opinion Wanted

Time for new front brakes on my '99 1.8TQ. Has anyone who installed an A8 upgrade to the front only noticed any improvements ? I'd like to get aftermarket pad which create less dust and greater friction. What are people using ? By the way, I tend to brake really hard at the last minute.

And you'll pay for the price difference?

Definately diminishing returns. I'm veryhappy with A8 upgrade. Using Carbotech pads they are great on the track, if you need more you should probably have a dedicated track car.
