[s-cars] Brake Options?

[Cody Payne]

Porterfield R4S's have suited me fine but not a track pad.  I have noticed NO additional squealing w/ the R4S's as I had w/ my Mintex RedBox.

The R4's are pretty insane w/ their initial "bite" on the track and do not fade at all w/ my Euro A8 Rotors.

Along those lines, any suggestions on what a good pad is for the stock
brakes? Pagid?  Which one?  Any pad out there that makes less dust but
still has good pedal feel?  Had a set of organic pads once on my Coupe
GT that had zero dust but no braking in the wet for the first second or
two -- scary!
