EBC Greens are also a good choice, the tire rack carries them.

Back from the Big List days, Hawk HPS was known to brake almost as strongly as HP+ but dusts significantly less.

I have not tried HP+. HPS was good for many years, until I got tired of the dust.

Tried R4s Porterfield subsequently. I'm happy.
