Keep in mind that brake dust and brake performance go hand in hand, and you WILL get more brake dust if you upgrade pads. Race pads will make noise unless properly bedded, which is more difficult than you think unless you have a significant amount of experience, or have someone who can teach you to do it safely.

Stock power. Stock tires. Gonna put some mpss on the stock rims in the next month or so. Unless I pull the trigger on some Enkei pf01 17x7.5s. Then I'll go wider tires. 60-40 against that for now though,but the possibility remains.
I don't mind the brake dust. The oem pads on my old car (540i) used to dust like crazy. While less dust would be nice, I can accept the trade off for a bit better bite. I'll pass on the increase in noise however.
What do you recommend ? Thanks.
