But have not used them on the S4. Almost no dust and good bite.

I am trying Centric Posi-Quiet semi-metallic on the S4, probably install over the weekend. If you search you will find pretty good reviews on these pads in various makes.

I am also running Carbotech Bobcats and they seem to be good with pretty low dust.

It seems I've tried them all and no aftermarket street pads have the same feel as stock. Most with good stopping power (Carbotech, Hawk, etc.) need one or two stops to work best. The stock pads work great right on the first stop but the dust is pretty bad. Mintex Redbox are just plain awful.

I've been pretty happy with the Bobcats. The initial bite is good, but a bit worse than stock. After about two stops, though, the bite is just as good as stock. These pads don't dust a lot, and the dust is a lighter color than the stock pads so it's not as noticeable. Finally, the Bobcats <i>do</i> squeak at very low speeds, but only occasionally. Even then it's faint and nothing that bothers me. But there it is.

I'll likely stick with the Bobcats because I swap in more aggressive Carbotech pads for track days and I like staying with similar compounds on the same rotors.
