This thread has been informational and my personal research has me down to 2 different pads. The StopTechs and the PowerStop Extreme (Z26). They seem to be very similar pads. The Akebonos are not bad. I just want more for the street.

From what I've read here and researched on my own you'll want the Stoptech Sport over the Z26's if dust is a worry.
I'm good on the OE pad initial bite but the harder I push the brake pedal (after initial grab) the brakes don't apply any more stopping force. I'm glad the thread helped you as well. I figured the options herein needed to be discussed more and is my reason for posting.
