I have Hawk HPS at my rear. My front are LS400 calipers. Trying to find either red or yellow. Afraid yellow will be too dusty and red will create squeeking noise.. I think I want maximum stoping power, I will pick yellow for now.

Like I said I have the yellow pads, and I'm running LS400 calipers upfront as well. They are great pads, I don't think that they are any worse than OEM pads in regards to dust.

I have run Green pads on another car and really didn't like them.
I have Supra calipers on my GS and when I put them on I used Stoptech street pads after driving a friends SRT8 300C with them and was extremely impressed.
After a northeast winter with them they still had amazing bite and great pedal feel but they leave a lot of pad material on the rotors when they get wet and the brake started to pulse horribly. In there defense I travel for work and my car will sit for weeks at a time. If I lived in a drier warmer climate I would run them again in a minute.
I recently put another set of rotors on the car and went with Centric Ceramic pads and while the initial bite isn't there they still have the same total stopping power but with some more pedal travel which isn't even a bad thing as it makes them much more easy to modulate. When I had the Stoptechs everyone who drove my car would jab at the brakes and we would both bounce off the dash. (Yes they are that grippy)
There are a LOT of good pads out there though so good luck in your decision.
