Default They produce a very light grey dust which washes off easily.

They produce such a light colored dust that it takes at least five times as long to darken your wheels.

Very rotor friendly with stopping performance just a touch better than stock and pedal feel a lot better than stock.

We have them in stock here:<ul><li><a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/shared/part_select.cfm?PMaI=1&amp;PMoI=4&amp;PEI=6&amp;PP =s4_27t_brakes.cfm&amp;PPT=Brakes">Mintex from AWE Tuning</a></li></ul>

Default Much less dust, and what little they do produce is gray so less noticable.

Similar feel to oem and I don't notice any undue wear on the rotors after 15k, but mine are warped ...not the fault of the pads!

Default I have it at home, but posts here are almost 100% from work.

Or else I would go schitzo.
