I put them on one of my previous German rides ('06 Audi S6) and loved them...dust waaaay down.

I am using Hawks too, here's the thread with my "review"

They are definitely a LOT less dust - almost none. They definitely stop really well too, but I have drilled/slotted rotors too, so I'm sure that sort of helps as well (once they get hot enough). With standard rotors, you'll be running hotter in normal driving, so Hawks should work just great

I DEFINITELY recommend!

I tryed EBC green and red stuff last time and they are good on normal driving but not as good when pushed.

acute performance

What pads are most customers using...the High Performance Street or the Performance Ceramic. Is there a noticable difference in performance and dust between the two models.

Thanks!
