Default Need an advise about break pads

I want to replace my front/rear pads.

I want something has less break dust. and maybe something can make my break distance shorter?

I have some cheap stuff and it really makes my rims dirty.

I also wonder what kind of connector I have for the sensors. is it square rounded connector or round connector ?

I have 1998 A4 1.8T qm

Should I go with PBR Ceramic Brake Pad Set-With Sensor Wires ?

Thanks

I have PBR ceramics on all 4 corners and they dust about twice as much as the stock pads do. Great pedal feel though. I have x-drilled/slotted rotors all around so that maybe causing some extra dusting.

Where do you live? When ceramic pad get soaked (ie: going through a giant puddle) they take a bit longer to dry out than normal pads....I live in Rochester NY, so thats something I need to keep in mind. So if you live in Seattle, maybe just go with some normal pads.

But yeah, I know d!ck about brake pads, so I'll be curious to hear what people suggest. Any opinions on EBC Greenstuff vs. Mintex?
