high performance brake pads

What will be the best brake pads to achieve:
1) high initial bite
2) better brake performance
3) low dust

I've been using Performance Friction Carbon-Metallic pads for some time, I just love the performance but cant live with the dusting. Any other alternatives with less dust?

What is the intended use? What PFC have you been using? It will be easier to recommend something different if we know what you are currently using.

Also, what do you mean by "high initial bite" and "better brake performance"?

I just researched this and ended up ordering Mintex Red Box. Seems like a pretty good set of pads!

Intended use is spirited mountain road driving and occational track day.

I think the PFCs are 97 compound.

With high initial bite I mean brakes that take early and do not need any warm up period.

With better brake performance I mean higher friction coefficient once warmed up.

How does these compare to the OEM pads on initial bite/performance/dusting?

I cant find any comparison with OEM pads on initial bite. How do you think they compare?
