Stoptech just has 1 performance pad compound and they do say it has a very high heat range for a street pad. It was made to perform about like the Axxis Ultimates they used to sell w/ the kits.

I have put them on more than a few cars already both mine and customers. Good bite - moderate dust and no noise on sliding caliper cars. On Brembo's they might make some noise as many 'quiet' pads do the same. Rotor bedding, keeping clean, grease etc all help but the Brembo's can be noisy.

I also have RB 500's and have been very happy with them. They get my vote.

Far less dust than the oem pads and great response. Defiantly suitable for a DD

I think short of a race pad anything makes less dust than the OEM pads.

After over 2 weeks on my car there is a bit of dust but not much more than a regular pad.

Brembo does not make pads - they buy them.

The STi pads were made by Jurid but that switched in about 08.

I don't think the EVO pad had the same markings so they may get elsewhere.

I love my RB 500's. MUCH less dust. My wheels hardly have any dust after DD'ing my car for a week or two without a car wash. I've had my pads for about a year and they have plenty of life on them. Very quiet too. I've only had like one or two "squeaks" after not washing my car after a while. Awesome "bite" and can handle more than stock pads. Very reasonably priced too.
