Check out the various levels of RB ET-Series brakes: http://www.racingbrake.com/v/main/ve...olution%20VIII
I just bought the ET-500's for autocross/street mix, so the 300's may fit your bill.

I would listen to this guy. I have the Z-Rated as well. Feel stock (good cold bite), are quiet, make very little dust, and have an MOT over 1000 degrees. They are virtually the same as the Ferodos and I paid $185 SHIPPED for front and rear. Hawk just doesn't do great on Evo's. I wouldn't pay more than $100 F&R for those pads.

Bump. I'm in the same situation right now too, i'm just looking for some replacement pads for the stock ones for daily driving and the occasional spirited drives :P The brake dust i'm willing to handle but i definitely don't want to sound like a school bus every time i slow down in traffic on my way to work.
To the OP: Which did you end up going with and how do you like them?

I will also pitch the Racing Brake Pads. I have used all their different compounds on my car in the T.T. and the AX. If you don't want much dust and very low noise (if any) try the 500's and they will not kill the rotors either. PM me for the prices. Pete

I'm running RacingBrake ET500 pads. I've previously used Hawk HPS and Performance Friction Metallic Z pads. The ET500 require a few more stops before they're at operating temperature than the others but they've been fine for me while doing some aggressive stops on the street. I'd recommend them over the HPS if you want more bite but don't want an increase in dusting.

What are your guys' opinions on the Endless Vita Nuovas? I am thinking if I should pick them up, or should I go with the B-forces or even Girodisc Magic?
Also, my back right pad is bad and it sounds horrible on the rotor (started yesterday), the outside of the rotor is starting to wear hard (outer 5mm or so), would it be wise to replace the rotor as well, or will it be corrected after the new pads are put to use?
I do some spirited driving, canyons etc., but I have the HAWK Blue's for track days.
Thanks,
-Will
