I know I don't drive my car very hard. The original pads lasted 75,000 miles. Replaced with original, and again at 146,000 miles. Tried Bosch for only 1200 miles and had a lot of dust. Installed original pads and all hardware. No problems.

I run HP+ for street and heavy auto-x use. I love everything about them except for the dust, they dust a lot.

I've also put HPS pads on several FDs (more than 6 of them). I like them a lot for the street and they'll work great for auto-x also. They dust a lot less, the comprimise is that they don't have quite as high of heat range.

Thumbs up

EBC Redstuff front and Greenstuff rear. Combined with the slotted and crossdrilled rotors the extremely well, but the front pads last maybe one track day and the rears two. They do dust alot as well.

I'm thinking of trying hawks next, mainly because of the cost differential.
