What type of brake pad?

What type of brake pads are you guys using? I was thinking about going with organic because some one had told me they leave no brake dust. Any performance loss with them? Also anyone else who has the cobra rotors/300zx BBK what are you guys using since thats what I have.

Any brake pad is going to dust. Whatever you do, don't get axxis/pbr ultimates. They dust and squeel like you wouldn't believe. I just bought some basic axxis/pbr delux pads and I'll see how they do. Can't beat the price at 35 shipped.

I just got the Axxis/PBR Ultimates and I really like them. They do dust a fair amount but the stopping power is pretty amazing over OEM. If brake dust bothers you you may not want to get ceramic pads. My max is mostly performance over looks so I dont mind the dust.

Edit: I dont have ANY squealing problems btw.

Well i dont mind the loss is some performance since i do have the upgraded brakes and these will out stop probally all the brakes on most guys cars even with a not so hi performance pad. Brake Dust is a big thing for me i hate it. Have to wash the rims like once a week its so bad. So dust shield after the BBK
