How do the Bobcats compare to the oem brake pads. My pads are due for a replacement. I'd like a solution to the brake dust but do not want to sacrifice performance. Is this even possible?

If the Bobcats are not up to par with the braking power of oem, which carbotech brake compound is a closer match with oem?

I have had mine for about 2 weeks I think and they are great. Less dust than OEM, although still significant. The initial bite is a little less than OEM, but I think when you get on the brakes, they stop the car at least as well as OEM if not better. Overall I'm very happy with them.

I've decided to give Carbotech Bobcats a try. Where can I find them for the best price? I heard something about ordering directly from them but I can't find any information on how to do that through their website.

One thing to be careful of with these pads, If you go thru a carwash ,pads get wet and they have no bite whatsoever ! Just do a few low speed stops and after that they are fine.
