Brake Man #3s. They squeek a bit. I had Pagid Blues...but they melted down at the track.
The Pagids were fine for normal driving. I'm probably being too hard on them, they would not have melted except I removed the wheel while it was still smokin_hot after a run session....the rotor cocked a bit and I got some pad transfer.
I have StopTechs too.
The Brake Man #3 pads are supposed to run to 1400 degrees or more if I remember their web site. Supposedly they are about as agressive as you can run and still use them for normal driving.

Porterfield R4S (all 4 corners - Stoptech in front, OEM cryo-rotors in back)
But they squeek like a ****... at least the rears do... I wonder if the R4S isn't QUITE the exact right size for the S4 OEM rear or something? Oh well

Mintex RedBox were silent and virtually dust-free on my A4.....
....pads were also less "grippy" than stock.
BUT, in the winter and in the rain I didn't like the way the pads felt (like bricks) and it sometimes took a lot of pedal pressure for me to bring the car to a stop. Of course some of that may not apply to an S4.
