BRAKE PADS?

I need new brake pads and rotors. I am going to get some cross drilled rotors from ecstuning.com, but I am not sure what brake pads to get.
Does anyone have feedback on PBR, Hawk, or Mintex brake pads?
What are the best brake pads to get?
Which pads give off the least amount of brake dust?

Thanks for your help

Track, Street, both? What's your flavor.

I think it is a bit foolish for some to recommend a pad, without knowing where you intend to drive.

Your pads should be chosen based on how/where you will be driving the car. Brian at ECS could probably help you choose a combo that will fill your needs.
