Default Best brake pads for street/strip dual driving

Just trying to get everyone's opinion.

I've run AEM pads but wasn't exactly blown away, plus all the brake dust sucks.

I really like Axxis metalmaster, but I don't know if they sell them in the US anymore.. :-(

I've been using AEM/Nissin pads for a few years, and they seem to do very well. I care more about stopping power than I do about brake dust.

I was thinking of trying EBC green stuff pads. Anyone tried them?

When I had my hatch I used the Hawk street pads I don't remember the exact name of them. Either way very nice improvement over stock, brake dust wasn't too bad. I'll be using those pads when I go to upgarde the brakes on my sol.

axxis metalmasters, good braking power especially after they're heated up a bit. I haven't really noticed much of a dusting problem either.

I just purchased a set of EBC Green Stuff pads for all 4 corners, they should be going on soon (once I have time off work) but I have heard a lot of good things.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to say my priority is Brake dust&gt;Braking power

I'm just trying to find a perfect pad and I'm asking all you guys what you've used and what has worked best.

All I can compare with is the AEM pads. I didn't think they were much better than OEM.
