I agree on the axxis. Dust beyond the limits of my imagination and average otherwise.

Default 2nd the HPS comments, I can fade them pretty easily in the mountains.

But in that narrow range of optimum operating dynamics, the bite is really really good. Dust is also really really low.

Default Thanks... Tried the "HOT" extra break-in... No luck... Anti-Squeal goop it will be

Maybe I'll try the extra hot break in again, though... I wonder if they'll go up in 2 foot flames like the R4-S's on my e36 M3...haha... fun, fun ;-)

They're my source as well. I forgot to mention that the pads last forever.

Not like it's tough to change front pads on our cars...
