Mintex red box pads here....work great with a lot less dust than OEM pads.
I recommend getting new plastic inserts (between pad and brake piston) to ensure no squeal. Ask me how I know

I have had nothing but dust with Hawk HPS, both on the 996 and on my S2000. I won't buy them again.
Whatever you do, put a little anti-squeel gel on the back of the pads. It's cheap at the auto parts store and should help the noise.

i got mine at automotion.com. they produce less dust but don't expect the best braking. i would say it is at least on par with oem pads though.
