I just rec'ved this info and ordered the STOPTECH Streets from KNS.
Friction:
StopTech > Carbotech 1521 > Hawk HPS
Dust:
StopTech > Hawk HPS > Carbotech 1521
Abrasiveness on rotors:
StopTech > Hawk HPS > Carbotech 1521
I think you'll be happy w/ that setup. There's a product for your wheels that you can apply and is supposed to make brake dust simple to remove, don't recall the name right now though
Nice choice going w/ KNS, good vendor for sure!
update - new pads are nice and have cleaned the rotors a bit and the shimmy is must better but not completely gone. so i'm of buying new rotors. the $200 rotors worth the money over $120 rotors for street?

I had StopTech Street pads on a previous car, and the bite from the Hawk HPS pads feels better to me (old car was lighter too). I would have put HPS > StopTech off the cuff, never did a side-by-side though...
