Advice on which brake pad to choose.

An aggressive pad that has mild squeal, medium dust, but aggressive and can hold heat are EBC Yellowstuff. They aren't carbotech expensive either. They held up to abuse at the dragon, the rotors were blue, but the rbf600 didn't boil, and my pads held. That's about as aggressive as you're going to get on the street. It has decent bite when cold, better with some heat.

When I park in the parking garage every morning... I imagine some of the smokers in the smoking area might be getting a little bit of hearing loss because of me.

I just park like:
