Brake pads

I would like some feedback on what brand/type of brake pads to use on my 99 M Roadster.
The car is street driven only and my priorities are :
1- OEM or better type performance
2- low dust
3- low noise
4- friendly to rotors

I plan on using them on some new Zimmerman drilled rotors on all four corners.

Comments please, Thanks

I have Axxis Ultimates on my car. I really like them but I am not sure how they will stand up over time(only 500km or so on them.) They dust less than the factory and don't make any noise but they won't be the most rotor friendly pad out there. Their grip is excellent for a street pad however.

I had the Metal Masters on my previous car and *HATED* them however.

Anyone like Hawk brake pads?

I'd recommend Axxis Deluxe Plus pads, but call Dave Zeckhausen at Zeckhausen Racing and get his opinion. Great guy to deal with.

2nd vote for the Deluxe Plus. A step down from Ultimates but not by much.
I don't see any dust & my rotors are practically new.

Almost no dust, but they're a noticeable step down from OEM in initial bite. I run 'em anyway on the street so I don't have to wash my wheels daily.
