Default Pads with aggresive initial bite

I am looking for pads. Can anyone recommend something with an aggresive bite? I loved the way my STi broke, pedal felt like you were stepping on a brick and the bite was very aggresive off the bat. Preferably low dusting too. Fwiw, I do alot of aggresive backroad/canyon style driving with alot of late braking. I might autocross here or there.

Hawk HP+ have the best initial bite I've experienced, even when stone-cold. There is some dust... Also some noise (which in my case went away after tracking them).

I'd agree with stayng away from the HPS pads, which are significantly worse than stock, but in my experience HP+ are quite good street/track pads, with a lot more initial bite than most track pads, even when cold.

If the OP can live with the dust an noise and wants initial bite on the street/autoX, I think HP+ are probably the best option.
