Default Which brake pads should i get?
Something with low brake dust and noise and great stopping power.... no neccessarily for the track, but for agressive/spirited street driving which could also be used on a track. thanks in advance

Default PBR Metal Masters
I have had mine on for several months now with slotted/cross-drilled rotors and I have been very impressed. Instead of cleaning my wheels a few times every week I can go the entire week or more! With proper bedding I've had no squeals.

Default its kind of always a compromise
in terms of bite vs. noise vs. dust. I really like my Ferodo pads, they bite very well not a lotta noise but they are a bit dusty.

Default the squeal (oddly usually only when im going really slow) is annoying
maybe 5mph, like when you are pulling up to your house
