Need brake pad advice - Aggressive street pad

My experience is with Hawk. I like the initial bite of their low end track pad (HT10). It is not too aggressive on the track, but a bit too noisy for the street. As soon as I move back to even a sporty street pad from Hawk (HPS), I lose that initial bite characteristics. The same thing is true for the OE pads that Porsche uses.

I want the bite and modulation characteristics of a low end track pad, without the squeak. (I know. Before you tell me they don't exist, get me close).

I have no experience with Pagid, or others, except for the maker of the OE pads. I assume that is Pagid.

Advice?

I ordered mine from Cantrell Motorsports in town. I also did their brake lines.

I am curious also, I would like a decent pad that puts out less dust. I have Hawks on my other car and the dust is much less than the P-Car.

If you are not tracking the car, and you just want less dust, try ceramic pads. Much less dust. But not the braking I am looking for. Give them a try.

I figured the racers would come out with all sorts of opinions.

For street and auto cross I actually like the stock pads which are Pagid. For the track the stock pads don't work as well hot so I switch to either Pagid Yellow or Performance Friction PFC08's.

+1 for Endless pads. I've heard great things about them, and will be switching to them once my stock pads wear out.

From a brief look online, the Endless pads are not widely distributed and fairly expensive. They look like a great performance option.

Does anyone run Pagid Yellows on the street and track?

Pagid yellows squeal like a pig on the street.

I use trw Oem on street. Decent pedal feel and quiet with minimal dust.

I just bedded a set of brembo race technologies ts20 for a track day. Initial feel is not the aggressive initial "trigger abs" bite of the pagid, very firm pedal feel, very progressive and grab like crazy. They seem to be a bit dusty. Do not squeal (yet).
