Brakes for Street use?

My oem pads need to be replaced, and was wondering what pads would be good for street use with spirited driving. I'd prefer low dust and noise pads, but also a bit better than the oem pads. Thanks in advance

Winmax W1 is actually what I'd recommend for your use.

It's fairly dependent on what you're looking for? People who want that OE replacement with additional bite, heat capacity, modulation, and fade resistance, we recommend Winmax W1. For a little more of that, go to W2. Everything after W2, the amount of noise you can potentially get increases. For pure daily setup, we recommend the W1. It can handle some spirited use if you need to as well.

While HP+ compound works well, it's kind of in the similar category as a ~W2/W3, DS2500, B-Force, and AX6.

The manufacturing quality is different across the different brands and the Hawk dust is notoriously corrosive compared to the other listed 4 pads. The upside of the HP+ is that it actually works pretty well for what it is.
