I want a street pad that has awesome bite like Hawk HP+, but is quiet and friendly on rotors...
...anyone got suggestions? The HPS I've got right now just don't have much bite. They also seem to behave differently from hot to cold on the street. I'm pleased with their noise, wear, dust and their smooth linear feel, but I really miss the bite of my HP+ pads. I will never buy HP+'s again though.

Ferodo DS2500 ?
They are bit dusty, but other than that, I've been very pleased with them on my S8. The pad comparison is rare in that it actually compares pads from various manufacturers -- Ferodo, Hawk, Porterfield, and a few others.<ul><li><a href="http://www.cobaltfriction.com/crb_compound_comparison.htm">Pad Comparison</a></li></ul>

DS2500 street, DS3000 track
The DS2500 is a street pad, cold bite is good, and at least with my brake set-up, they've always been as quiet as a church mouse. I'm not sure I can ever recall them squealing.
BTW, the DS3000 is a truly great track pad. On the street when cold, though, the DS3000 eats rotors and squeals beyond anything I've ever heard. Cold bite is actually not bad, but on a steady brake pedal interstate exit, you can feel their friction suddenly increase when they warm up a bit. [Usually I'm too tired to swap back to the DS2500 before driving home after a track event.]<ul><li><a href="http://www.cobaltfriction.com/ferodo.htm">Ferodo Compound Comparison</a></li></ul>

where'd you get your ferodo ds2500? i was told by andie lin that they're not available for the s4.
in fact, i was told by 3 shops that the ferodo ds2500 isn't available for the b5 s4.
