After speaking to the manufacturer in UK, it seems that these numbers ARE correct...!!!

If AK can order through HK, then i would prefer that...

dust= the pads are being worn down and not the discs, you got to choose carefully as yours are used discs

thats not right
the racing pads have dust but will wear out disk faster
road pads have almost no dust and will take alot longer to ware out the disk
the 1s that he is getting are for road use so his disk will last until he sell the car
