Default Brake Pads... Which do you like?
If I go with a low-dust product like "Raybestos," am I sacrificing any performance? What do you guys recommend?

Default DON'T use Raybestos!!!!
1) Squeal like crazy
2) Wet braking worse than OE.

Most believe recommend Mintex Redbox.

Why don't you do an archive search? Plenty of info. Might also try "User Reviews".

Default yes, AVOID AVOID AVOID Raybestos. I quickly switched to Mintex Red Box
Raybestos are very scary. Wet braking is horrible, scary unpredictability, and lots and lots of noise.

Switched to Mintex Red Box and have been extremely happy ever since....
