I've got Brembo cross-drilled w/KVR pads. Good setup IMO

I've been using PBR pads for the last 5 years. No complaints

EBC claims that their pads make very little dust, but there's been a lot of mixed reviews about it. Personally, I think that they should stick to making motorcycle brake equipment instead.

KVR's are pretty good, and dust isn't too bad. The performance is pretty good with very minimal fading. AEM isn't bad either, but I've found that the brake is more prominant over KVR.
OEM Honda pads are probably the quietest and create the least dust. Performance is mediocre, but these pads were designed for the average person in mind.

My next (racebrake) setup is endless pads with endless rotors with a custom machined hub for my bolt pattern (since there's no existing application available commercially). However, I'll be using Brembo blanks (custom drilled bolt pattern again) and KVR pads for daily driving. I'm using Legend 2-piston calipars and legend rotors on the Prelude, and 4-piston cast iron 300ZX (Z32) calipars and pads for the 240 (soon to be Sileighty ).
