Going to change to Endless MX72+ after the stock pads run out, have used them before for street and trackdays. Initial bite is great, only very slight noise when rolling to a stop and minimal dusts..

When it’s time for me to upgrade, DS2500s all the way. Just lots of wheel cleaning maintenance.

You looking for one set of pads to do both daily and take to your weekends or would you be wanting to swap pads before your track day weekends? I ask because my answer will vary on what you say.
What’s a solid set that can be used to both daily and track the car without swapping?

For both I say Hawk HP+ or EBC yellow stuff.

If I hate brake dust, what are my best options? I know some dust is inevitable but I would like to minimize as much as I can.

Finished up my Carbotech XP8 (F/R) and holy lordy... I’m used to HARD braking in my 1954 pound Lotus running XP12/10... The Type R on XP8 not even up to temp, on winter tires, in 30 degrees is literally shocking. Entirely different world to stock.

Also looking for an answer to this, and hopefully with little to no noise. I was ready to get some Hawk pads but just read that they're particularly corrosive? I'd be daily driving 95% if the time.

Been hearing great things about the Raybestos ST43. I'll probably give these a go for my next set of pads.

FYI - the stock pads I believe are rebranded DS2500's (I know the Brembos on the Evos are rebranded DS2500s and im fairly sure the FK8 is the same).
