I know there's a ton of threads but some are kinda on the old side, so what I would like to do is get a consensus on good multi-purpose pads, good stopping power, low dusting, and low noise. Now I know I can't find the perfect pad but there's got to be a good all around pad.

I've seen the Hawk Pads, I've watched Spike Channel's (Detroit Muscle) they use Power Stop. Would like a good weigh in on all the other pads out there.
I'd like some info on the EBC line if anyone has used them.
I like the 1LE OEM pads for autox/track/street, if they have them for those calipers. The pure track oriented pads have too much bite and can't get enough heat in them for autox, especially for trail braking. The OEM pads do it all and perform on the track as well and don't dust too bad. I use them for 2/3 track, 1/3 autox work. For just track work, I like the ST43 Raybestos.
YMMV
