Default Good Question. Personally, I've used Mintex Red Box...

But after 20k it seems that I'm getting more dust than normal. They are about half gone. Are there better ones than Mintex?

A lot of people (like Dennis) like the Mintex Reds. EBC Greenstuff pads are pretty dust free too.

Default Remsa Gold are great very little dust... i had Mintex Red box..they sucked..high dust and........

chewed up my ATE rotors...call Randy at 1 888-489-2834. he's having a sale, im not sure if he has pads for the 02' A4 yet. but he is the only guy in the U.S. that can get Remsa Gold pads. they are only sold in Europe but he has a contact. I love those pads, great stopping in wet,dry,cold and hot weather and they only cost me like $45.00 a set. give him a call and tell him u spoke to BMWSLAYER, he will hook you up or anyone else that mentions my name. BMWSLAYER IN WA.

Default Pagid worked really nice for the street. Watch out for ATE Powerstop slotted rotors-severe warpage!

On more than one car. No good reason. For an OEM they supply a ****ty aftermarket product.

Default Not dustless but really nice to use and not as dusty as oem.

Ferrodo or Porterfeild street compound. Silky smooth progressive bite.

I'm using EBC Green Stuff pads and they are virtually dust-free.
