I like mine, got them on all four corners. They do not seem to dust to bad but I wash my car al least one a week so i cannot really tell.

they're awesome. i have them on all fours, and it really improved brake feel and, at least to me, they felt like they stopped the car a little faster than stock pads. as far as dust...they dont give off too much dust, which i always thought was good, but they are also quite. never had any noise come out of them (except when the rears got low). i recomend them.

Hawk pads are very good. For a street car, i like them and EBC green pads.

I have the green pads.. they looked like they were reused... and they create HORRIBLE dust... my rims are black 2-3 days after washing them.


EDIT: However, I do break very well now

of course they will create dust, if you brake from 160mph-0

hey hey hey! just 60-0 with full brakes ...

lol no but for real man... I have SO much brake dust it retarded... They use to squeal real bad, but for the most part - they stopped all that. but the stopping power is awesome atleast... The only reason they're still on is because they saved my arse from an accident, lol.

they are good, but ive heard mixed reviews over them. drilled and slotted are really good for getting rid of the heat, but on the down side they reduce the usable surface area of the rotors, and from what i heard they are prone to cracking, especially if they are still the stock GT size. dont know how good they have become within the last few years, but when i was in the market those were the biggest problems.
