Keep in mind the Axxis ult. They are cheap and do remarkably well on the street and autocross. They do, however, dust a hell lot.

Porterfield R4-S is my favorite. Been on every project car I've owned since the 90's.

Great initial bite, good pedal feel, awesome when warmed up. Little dust, but nothing major. My current set has over 40+ autocrosses and 30k miles and still have thickness.

The 1st couple stops in the cold aren't the best, but no worse than any other OEM pad. And I'm talking below 40 deg, otherwise you won't really notice it.

Click on GranSport
Click Product Search - search for 03-05 Mitsu Lancer
Product number: GS5D1001 Front / GS5D961 Rear
Seems like ibrakeparts.com is the only place that has them. $150/set and $104/set, front and rear. Looks to be about the same price as many of the other high performance street pads.

GS5s are about $120 from THTMotorsports (vendor here).

drag coefficient is a measure of friction between surfaces. the numbers will be decimals and the larger the number means greater frictional force.

IMO Magicpads stop no better than stock, but they are quiet and exhibit little dust. GL!

IMHO, doing no better than stock is doing pretty good for a street pad.

I thought stockers were always wayy more expensive than getting aftermarket ones??

My belief is that is always true, and aftermarket ones perform the same, if not many folds better lolz

I don't autocross, just dd

Will this setup be a good replacement for stock? Looking for OE equal or better performance, rotor friendly, low dust, low noise.

Front - GS6D904 GransSport GS6

Rear - ?

PR1037-C Satisfied Pro Series Ceramic Brake Pads

or

PR904 Satisfied Pro Series Performance Brake Pads

The PR1037 are over double the price of the PR904.

These look good for rear - Hawk Performance Ceramic Pads

Will the different pads (front/rear) be okay with the bedding recommendations for the GS6?

Where did you find them to PM them? I looked under sponsors but that just takes you to their website. I searched for THTMotorsports under users but that didn't find them.
