I running the magic pads fellas, and they are 500% better than Hawks --- easily.
Very, VERY, little dust, and absolutely NO noise.
Best brake pad purchase I've ever made, hands down.
. . . and yes, this is unsolicited customer feedback. I'm VERY pleased.

Just installed these yesterday. I know there is no need for goo but I put a little bit of copper anti-seez on the back because I got a crap load of it. When out for for a little test drive and they are so much better than the Hawks that were on it. First noticable difference, no clunk from backing out of the driveway from the pad shift (i'm so use to the noise, i was like WTF?, that's different). Same comments from the people before - intial bite is very grabby. there is no noise, no or little dust.
the big test was out on the autobahn. I was told from someone at Girodisc that I might want a different pad due to the high speed and was offered another brand. I wanted to give these a shot and for $150, I figured what the hell. Out by my village there is construction on the autobahn and it goes gradually from no speed limit to about 50 mph (80 kph). I decided to go about 120 to 50 as quick as possible. Again, no issues. hard intial grab. i was hard on it for about 5 miles through a twisty back road - no real noticable fade. for the money, this are gonna be my choice from now on.
Thanks for getting these to me!
