Soooo you want:

Good on the Track
No noise
No fade
No dust


So you want magical brake pads?

Seriously, there's no pad in the world that can fulfill all of those requirements.

Will shims do any trick to reduce noise? I've had PMU Club Racer pads which screamed like pig in low speeds.

I might just try the RC6E with shims

RC6E are absurdly loud, but also completely awesome pads.

Shims + regular greasing will absolutely help. So will putting heat into them as often as you can...

Sometimes I do a run up to 90 or so and brake hard down to 5-10 to put enough heat into them so that they shut up for a while.

When I say regular greasing, I mean like every couple of weeks, if you daily drive it.
