Just in case people want to hear from someone who's had them for almost a year, here are a couple of words on my experience.
1. Dust - WHAT DUST?! Gone. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Null. Absolutely don't have any dust anymore.
2. Performance actually gets significantly better after the pads are broken in and bedded in. But the initial lazy bite I was having was mostly due to the fact that I have drilled/slotted rotors, which needed to be bedded in properly to start operating at their best during regular driving.
3. If I may just be so bold as to say this again (and again!) - the HPS pads are absolutely great and I'd totally buy again. Way better than stock - UNQUESTIONABLY!
GL everybody!

Hey fellas,
I created a thread talking about my experience with HWAK HPS pads in conjunction with R1 premium rotors here.

I think this upgrade combination is great. It's not the BBK or even the M5 brake kit upgrade but then again, for daily driving and even for canyon runs, a set up like this would be quite sufficient. Enjoy!

HPS is the best of all worlds. It stops better than OE, less dust than OE, and quiet. Ceramic doesn't stop as well as HPS but has even less dust than HPS. Most people are very happy with the HPS.
