Good everyday/street pad, low dust - lack the initial "bite" of the OEM pads. I'm on my second set.

Default Yes, Red Box are fine as a street pad. Low dust. Been using for 50K+ miles
I've used C-tech on the track and they stood up very well considering I was a first timer. Lots of dust from them.

Default Good pads- I'm using the Red Box pads w/ Porsche calipers...
Good pads for daily street use- Very little dust, and excellent feel. Price is right too!
