just wanted to reaffirm what others have said. the stopping power feels exactly the same as stock, but it's like there is no dust or the dust seems to be a more gray powdery. excellent mod when ur ap2 pads wear out.

anyone know why there is so much less dust?

 

It's made out of a different material.

 

the stopping power feels the same because at the temp brakes get to on the street, high performance pads will feel much the same as medium duty pads. where the better compounds really shine is on the track, at very high temperatures, under heavy use. there's really no reason to use a high performance compound for 100% street use.
