Default Titanium kevlar brake pads vs others?

Guys I put some titanium kevlar pads on the car with new rotors and I can tell you they work great and not a lot of dust. What are you guys using and what works best. Im letting you know my setup works great!

Stoptech i think?

I'm running ceramics all-around. WAY less dustier than stock pads... doesn't bite as sharp as stock pads (you might not even notice the difference), but for daily driving, it does well.

Titanium kevlar brake pads? Interesting, two components that to my knowledge wouldn't work on brake pads... unless it's just another marketing name.

Never seen these before either and they are pretty cheap. I wonder how the hyper ceramic ones are.

Bit off topic but isn't your alloy on the wrong way (should be on the other side of the car)

Kevlar pads have been around for a long time. I've not seen them for the F before, but I've seen them for lots of other applications. The titanium is supposed to prevent heat transfer to the caliper, or at least limit it. There are companies making Ti shims to back brake pads with the assumption the Ti will help slow heat transfer.
