Default Brake pads? Which are most highly reccommended for dust-free-ness?
I had Mintex Red Box on my A4 back in the day and I liked them. Should I go with what I know, or is there a better alternative?

I just want no brake dust, and no squeal.

Default I'll step up for Porterfields. I've seen Mintex Reds on some A4's here, and *personally* think the..
Porter's are less-dust than the Reds

I have Mintex Red. Linear, constant pressure, great 'feel'. Proportional all the way to STOP!

I agree the Porterfields are nearly dust free. We won't get into the potential to squeal though.
