Need Brake Pad Suggestions fast
I was just at the dealer and they told me that my pads are down to the indicator and that I need to get them replaced very soon. I want pads with some better braking power but I dont want something that is going to give me any more brake dust than the oem pads. They basically said I need to get them replaced in the next week so any quick suggestions would be greatly appreciate. They dont need to be JDM at all cause most of those pads will take a while to get in and also create more dust.

EBC green ate up my rotors in 25k miles. Started getting noisy, the
pads probably had another 8k left. I did like the braking but like
I said the rotor wear was causing noise.
I have the original pads back on with drilled/slotted rotors, works
just as good as the EBC green.
Next I'll try Hawk. I expect the slots will wear the stock pads
faster.

EBC Greenstuff are one of the worse pads in my opinion. They are the only pads I've seen that glaze over after a few times of hard braking. I've seen this happen on 5 different occasions, including on one of my own vehicle. Ask some autocrossers around here, and you'll see most of them prefer Hawks or Axxis.
