Elevens/Reggie -

Can you each confirm:

-You're using the semi-metallic version of the pads?
-Do you hear any brake noise?

(Sorry to be redundant, but would like to make sure we're all talking about the same PQ pad)

Thanks,
tgt

I put Hawk Ceramic on F & R and while there is very little dust compared to OEM I did feel(and expected to feel) slightly diminished braking performance...but I'm used to it now. As usual with low dust pads they need to warm up a little for best performance. I'll never go back to OEM.

To be honest, I think the Q5 could do with a bit less brake bight. The first time I drove ours I almost went through the windscreen.
