best pads to go with on brembo m6 coupe? no squealing either!
I need to replace the pads on my Brembo equipped 6MT coupe. I want a pad that has good bite in the cold (Hawk HPS is out of the door), that lasts decently long, and doesn't dust too badly. I realise that no pad will excel at all three areas (though if there is, please mention it!).
I am thinking of going OEM, but are there any other good alternatives? How are the EBC Greenstuff pads? What about Raybestos Quiet Stops (a lot of the maxima guys praised these pads when I owned a maxima).
Thanks!

Supposedly the Satisfied Pro Perform "OEM" pads, sold at Tirerack, are pretty good alternatives to OEM, and are relatively cheap @$24 an axle. So, if you don't end up liking them, you're not out too much money. But check out the reviews on tirerack, including one by a G35 owner w/Brembos who was quite pleased with them and even tracked them a few times.

Stuck with OEM on my pad change and am very happy. Aside from the dust, these things have great bite, don't fade with street use, and haven't issued a single squeal since I installed them. Key is to use a decent amount of brake lube. Don't forget - dust means the pads are working well. And a nice coat of Wheelwax on your wheels makes removing dust relatively easy.

I ended up going with the Satisfied Ceramic Pro's from TireRack. I have had them on for close to 20000km now with no complaints. They seem to stop as well as the OEM pads, however the lack of dust may say otherwise. I never push my brakes to their limits however...
