I've used Lucas, Ferodo DS2500, Ferodo Premium and Project Mu NS while trying to find good street pads for an R32 GTR. In particular I was looking for good initial bite and overall feel. Ferodo Premium was awful, Lucas better but still didn't like them much, and while I liked the Ferodo 2500 because I knew they woud stop when I stood on the pedal, they lacked the initial bite I was looking for. The Projec Mu was my pick, great initial bite and sensitivity, and good feel. Price was a pleasant surprise too but can't remember exactly how much from Racer Industries in Qld. Can't comment on dust yet but hey, if a GT3/Lambo /F430 looks good with blackened front rims so does my car...
Cheers
