I use the car for daily *spirited* ;) driving. I am not too concerned about dust and would prefer better braking performance over low dust

I have Raybestos ceramics on my 96 and they are great. I've used them on a road course, for AutoX, and of cource on the street. They're quite, stop great, and best of all, don't nasty up your wheels with all that black dust. They are a bit hard on rotors, but since rotors cost half what C4 pads, do, who cares? :smash:

Re: Which brake pads should I get?? (Storz)
Anyone using EBC greenstuff pads? For me, they made a huge improvement in braking power and control. They dont dust nearly as bad as the stock pads and are supposed to be easy on rotors. They dont need to be hot to work; the cold braking is also much better. I haven't had them on their long enough to know how fast they wear (there must be a downside). They are expensive, but well worth it for me. The brakes on the 85 are terrible...almost unsafe. These pads made it much more llivable. Good luck
