Gentelemen, they are fantastic. I needed something that won't fade and has good cold grip, as they warm up they stop amazing, especially with Power Slot rotors that are slotted to keep the pad surface nice and clean.

Yes the dust, but oh well, AP2 pads were just as bad.

Guys... I spent 4 hours behind the wheel. These pads are ridiculous. This is city, highway, and spirited curvy road driving. They stop HARD once you get slight heat in to them, and then that crazy bite lasts for the rest of the drive.

Not sure if its a downside, but after the break in they still make slight "grinding" noise, whether it is due to slotted rotors or the pads, it's almost like you can feel how hard they will or do bite.

Slight squeal is here and there but rare. Honestly sounds more of like a whistle like you hear on track cars then a squel.

Anyways, two thumbs up, I am impressed.

sounds like im going to pair these guys up with the J hooked/slotted rotors from SOS Do you get the grinding noise every time you are in city driving EOE?? Is it pretty audible? Or is it more of a squeal?

Slight squeal is here and there but rare, it's more of a grind.. Honestly sound is more like a slight whistle like youd hear on track cars then a squeal when it happens.

I took it up to 140mph @ 230am last night on a deserted freeway and started breaking hard. Then again. I was amazed by the grip and bite that kept only getting stronger. I feel like these will eat up rotors nicely haha

Just checked my car in day light. Brake dust is slightly more than AP2 fronts. But I had bunch of serious stops.

Now rears dust tho, that's for sure. My silver rims are gunmetal now. Ha
