What is your favorite pad for spirited daily driving and light track use for a 180sx brake setup

Please keep in mind i have white wheels .. so some dust is accepted but i don't wanna be cleaning my wheels everyday

Thanks

I had HPS's but they squealed a lot and had a good bit of dust. Decent pads for sure, just not really good if you hate squeal and a bit of dust.

I use the Porterfield R4-S, low noise and dust and they work well. I've used the Metal Masters too, they were more noise but a hell of a bite, they would send my RT615s up in smoke.

Grinding. It's really hardly noticeable though. They also take a few stops to begin working well.
