I need replacement pads in the front and narrowed down the part number. Problem is there are 8 variations of the pad and I don't know which one I should purchase. I just don't want something that makes a ton of noise but still maintains superior performance.
Any suggestions?

I have the HPS pads and they are awesome. They do dust more than stock pads, but they do not squeak and they have amazing stopping power. By the way, HPS stands for High Performance Street, which is probably what you are looking for.

The following are race pads, you don't want them, not appropriate for street use - high squeal and lots of dust:
HB453E.585 Brake Pads; Blue 9012 w/0.585 Thickness;
HB453G.585 Brake Pads; DTC-60 w/0.585 Thickness;
HB453S.585 Brake Pads; HT-10 w/0.585 Thickness;
HB453U.585 Brake Pads; DTC-70 w/0.585 Thickness;
HB453V.585 Brake Pads; HT-14 w/0.585 Thickness;

The HP+ are used on tracks alot but are really more street oriented (very aggressive street).

The HPS and the Ceramics are the street pads.

For street driving and most autocross, HPS pads are preferable to HP+. They'll work better when cold, aren't as noisy or dusty, and you may find them easier to modulate.

Edit: I have HPS pads on two other cars.

Just did HPS all the way around and they are quiet as a mouse and feel good - mine is a DD

I'll say HPS as well. I've not used them, but I have used HP+ pads, and while they stopped great and never faded on the street, they were dusty and very noisy.
