I have them on the rear and won't be using them again. Dust just as bad as stock IMO. I literally have to clean the lips on my wheels after every drive.

I also just did a brake job on my own. Dealership wanted $436 for pads alone, not including install. I did some research and bought the Hawk ceramic pads for $270. I did the brake job myself. Super easy, less then an hour for left and right front brakes......

Just replaced my front pads after 12k miles. I had 3 track days on them so i'm guessing that makes sense. I replaced them the stoptechs and so far they feel great! bought them for $88 on amazon!

I have had both + OEMs and the Stoptechs dust less then OEM but much more then the Wearever.

I'm running Stoptechs with Figs rotors all around and my black wheels still need to be cleaned every 3rd or 4th time I use my car.
With the OEM pads I felt the need to clean my wheels every time I took my car out and with the Wearevers it was almost only durning a wash.

How do you guys find the stoptech performance pads for initial bite? I put them on and really felt they didn't bite nearly as hard as OEM, but at the track the thought never entered my head, so they must be fine at higher temps.

Let's not forget these guys:

They're a great source for Project Mu, Carbotech and Ferodo Pads. Also Project Mu Rotors and Two piece rotors. They are a great firm to work with. I'm lovin' my Ferodo DS2500 front pads

I did a set of these on my 08 ISF and they were great. Just ordered a set for my 2009. My original set of brakes and pads are almost finished @ 25,000 miles. Can't beat the price and they are American.
