I will be happy to help you with brake pads, take a look at the Carbotech AX6 or we have some other options let me know.
The AX6™ is specifically engineered for Autocross applications. A high torque brake compound delivering reliable and consistent performance over a very wide operating temperature range of 50°F to 1100°F + (10°C to 593°C+). The advanced compound matrix provides an excellent initial bite, high coefficient of friction at lower temperatures along with very progressive brake modulation and release characteristics. AX6™ offers high fade resistance, rotor friendliness at all temperatures and excellent cold stopping power. As a result, AX6™ is an excellent choice for Autocross and has gained tremendous popularity with SCCA Prosolo/Solo2 competitors for its outstanding all around performance. Many drivers use the AX6™ for street driving as well, even though Carbotech™ doesn't recommend street driving with AX6™ due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise. AX6™ is NOT recommended as race compounds in most applications.

I don't really care about the noise (my GS pretty much always sounds like a truck), but I am curious about the dust level for my daily driver. Are we talking similar to OEM, or just a little more....or are we talking a lot more? Not that dust is a big issue (the OEMs are pretty darn dusty on their own).....but just to give me an idea what to expect.

My 2011 Grand Sport....it's my daily driver and my weekend autocross car. I'm looking to have it perform a bit better on the autocross course (because I get my a$$ whooped every time out), but it's still my DD. Noise and a bit of dust are OK as long as it's the "sound of performance" type of thing. Since I've been using the ArmorAll Wheel Protection spray, the OEM dust has been tolerable.....hence my question....those AX pads...are they in that same dust range?
