Default Breaks change ! - recommendation needed

I need to change breaks due to budget I decided to get aftermarket Rotors and Pads. I am a daily driver..
Requirements:
- Low noise
- Low break dust
- No fading
- Better than stock breaking

Any recommendation for the setup ?

Default You might want to look into Mintex Red Box pads.

I'm getting them put on today. They're known for low brake dust and low noise.

ECS has some rotor options that you might want to check out. The rotors are mostly Brembos with some additional enhancements by ECS.

A cheap rotor upgrade would be to get the OEM rotors from a B5 S4. They are a direct bolt-on with no modifications required. There's people out there selling the whole kit for around $450. That includes the front rotors, calipers, pads (used), and brake lines (sometimes even aftermarket stainless steel lines).<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/">ECS Tuning</a></li></ul>

Unless you track your car, don't bother with a big brake kit.
