Sounds like the sss is more of a street pad, how are they for dust and noise?

Relatively inexpensive as I picked these up for around $200 (Overseas)
Not sure about dust, I have black rims but no noise or squeals whatsoever.

and oh...and one very good reason not to use track pads on the road, is that it doesn't bit even when you've slammed on the brakes.
I've tried that and its very scary...overshot a red light by a whole car length and a bit, luckily it was night and there were no cars around.MFactory Performance Products

I just found out that I’ve bent my race pad’s backing plate (GRRR 2 pot calipers GRRR). Apparently the bow will put a bit of flex on first application and I won’t be getting even application of the pads across the face of the rotors. I’m starting to think about getting some 4 pot calipers so that I can really lean on the brakes (I have had the brake temp on the calipers getting up to 600 degrees years ago and when my shocks/springs were past their best it was starting to 3 wheel under weight transfer in some turns under late braking).
What do people think of the idea that the thinner the pads (i.e. new pads and old pads of the same compound) the more heat is being transferred to the calipers and the more heat is going in to the brake lines? Someone mentioned it to me today and it seemed to make sense.Honda DC2R Integra
If I change the nut behind the wheel then my sloppy lines improve and I can get some consistency to sort out my iffy handling, my worrying lack of braking ability goes away, after that I can start fretting about my suspicious lack of straight line grunt.
