Default New brake pads

Hi,
I need to replace my pads (15000 km) by previous owner
I will almost certainly not track this car so I am looking for a low squeal and low brake dust pad since this is my daily
I know this has been discussed before but I would like to know if there is a recent evolution in brand or type of pad for this use ?
Thanks
Eric

I bought a set of Carbotech 1521 pads and the amount of brake dust was drastically reduced. There’s almost no brake squeak as well.

Is there a place in Europe where I could buy them ?

Not sure, but I bet they'd be willing to ship to you. Check them out.

Did you notice any difference in performance compared to the OEM brake pads?

For street use, seems on par with the OEM ones. According to their website, they're not intended for track use. Not sure they would hold up to the heat and abuse you'll put them through due to repeatedly heavy braking, etc. For street use they deliver what they advertise; low dust and no brake noise.

The stock ones work pretty decently on track (very well for a stock pad), so don't expect these to be suitable for even occasional track driving.
