Default Front Brake Pad Recommendation?

Hi all,

I recently installed 993TT front brake calipers on my S2. I love the bite of the factory brake pads but I hate the amount of brake dust these suckers throw on my wheels.

I am looking for some recommendations on good pads that don't produce as much dust. Car is mainly street with auto crosses and some DEs.

Thanks!

I have Hawk HPS right now and am very satisfied. Much less dust and bite is almost equal to stock pads. I recommend them.

I'm using the same setup at the track, but they squeal way too much for street driving.

I am a strong believer that you can have a great street/track car balance with Pagid Blue front and rear. Provided you have the right brake oil and rust free rotors properly drilled and cleaned.
They never faded once with me so far, coming down from almost 160mph to about 20 in less than 500 feet several times and a very demanding track. I have not noticed too much brake dust either..

What brake pad does the GT3 run? They seem to work great on the track and on the street. I know they are Pagid, but not sure what model equivalent in the Pagid aftermarket.

im using BHP pads and they seem very good for track and street - a little squeel, but ok otherwise.
Any of you guys using them?

Also, i did not go with Pagid orange as i have seen them be very hard on rotors.
