Installed my HPS on the fronts, rears didn't need them and I have barely ANY dust.

I had Axxis Ultimates and then Hawk HP+ on the Miata. Both were kind of dusty but not to the point I got pissed at them. I want to say the HP+ were slightly less dusty. The Ultimates were squeaky but the HP+ were much quieter.

The MS6 stock rear pads are fine but the fronts are terrible, and are that much more noticeable because the rears stay clean.

Yeah I had PBR (Axxis) Ultimates on my Integra...they dusted a lot. But maybe I just noticed it more because of my white TE's.

I have the Hawk HPS on my Integra...love them. Dust isn't too bad at all.

The HP+ on my saabaru are pretty dusty and make a lot of noise. I would go with HPS instead.

:edit: My old Axxis Ultimate were about the same on dust, but oddly, quieter.

same experience with ebc. red/yellow/green all suck balls.

for street I prefer hawk HPS or HP+

Akebono Pads for OEM replacement
I haven't use Hawk HPS or HP+ but they were recommended by the people I'd trust
I love the Endless Vita Nuova and the SSS line
I also like Project Mu NS pads

I'm using ATE Super Blue and Super Gold in all my cars. Great Fluid for the $$$. I used to run Motul RBF600 but didn't find the need for it, especially for an occasional track enthusiast like me.
