That brake pad comparison article was very nicely done. Very readable, very informative, and very detailed.

Double the fun as the results were so not what I would have expected with those brands going at it.

Thanks. Emotions run high in the brake industry and we did our best to maximize the story while minimizing post-publishing drama.

Uh, the article would go something like this:

Anything is fine for the street.

No, but really, why would you want an article on street pads? From experience, buying almost ANY premium style pad from your local autoparts store results in minimal brake dust, noise free, solid braking. Canadian Tire up here sells "monroe" brake parts, they are considered their premium pads (along with some ATE stuff). I have auto-x'd a ton on them, they are brilliant pads, and when on sale for 25% off once a month, they only cost $45 for each end of the car.
