Only street use? Yeah, I'd go with Mintex...if for nothing more than less dust.

Default Remsa Gold pads, the brand that AudiSports uses..
Awsome pads, very rotors friendly, been on my Audi for 4yrs and still going strong, very,very little dust and awsome braking any temp. condition. call randy @ Midtex Audi/Porsche Specialist @ 1-888-489-2834. He will take care of you all and prices are not expensive at all either.

Default Good pad. Similar feel as stock. Much less dust and lighter color.
No noise after about 5k miles (knock on wood).

These are the special pads that you were pushing that only your guy could get from Europe?
