I\'m looking for a few first hand recommendations for new pads. Right now I have a set pf Pagid\'s all around. They have been good for the price, but I\'d like to find something that might bite harder or stay a little cooler. So far I have been thinking about getting mintex red or green pads. I\'ve also seen PBR pads pretty cheap on bmpdesign\'s site. I\'m still using my car for daily driving so I\'ll avoid any track only pads, but looking for something that can take a good beating still (like this last weekend). Thanks in advance

I just put the Hawk Ceramics on my car and they did a great job this past weekend. They hardly dust at all. I would highly recommend them.
Another one to try it the Porterfield R4-S. I have heard great things about these pads, almost no dust, low noise and great modulation. I just couldn\'t find a place to get them.
After the fact I found them here:

I have Mintex Redbox on mine, I like em ok, less dust than stock, slightly better feel if my memory serves me.
stay away from EBC greenstuff... ugh, I hate them.

I guess EBC greenstuff are good if you can keep them from glazing.

I had redbox\'s on the Golf. Decent stopping power but too much dust, ugh I hate brakedust. I wouldn\'t get them if you\'re looking for something with more bite than the Pagids. Pagids bite a bit better. I\'d go with Hawk or PBR Ceramics (I\'ll be doing PBRs on my Aero whenever I get around to it).
