I have been running Porterfield Enterprises' pads for a couple of years now and they are great. Even though they are not billed as dustless, I only have to clean the wheels after 500-1000 miles depending on how hard I drive the car. I would go with Stainless Steel lines, I think Earls are the best. The Porterfields I use are the R4S compound and I have driven them in the depths of winter in northern NJ and they are not bad at all. You will find that Pagids dust a lot and the Mintex are good, but when you get them hot on track, they will no longer be dustless. I would go with Balo stock replacement rotors, and you should have a car that really stops well.

i'm ready to replace my brake pads on my ///M5. it is a dailey driver and will see at least 3 driver schools this summer...it now runs on Repco Metal Masters,i'm thinking of going to Mintex C-techs or Pagid sports,and stainless lines.
(and stock rotors,for now).dustless is some-what a concern,so is cold stopping ability (it is my dailey driver ).
