I just put a set of Hawk PC's on the front of my car. They've been GREAT so far. The bite is somewhat better than the stockers, they don't make any noise whatsoever, and I haven't seen any noticeable dust. So far I'd definitely reccomend them. They're a little pricey ($155 for the front), but definitely worth every penny to me.

i changed my front pads about a month ago to rb et500 and just a few days ago the rear with the same pads...theyre great and i love them so far and the dust level is also very noticeable..much less than the stock pads, at one point, the rear pads were making more dust than the front which got the rb et500 first. also quieter and a slightly stronger intial bite compared to stock...hope this helps

The magic pads are completely quiet and have almost no dust, but I feel they are quite a bit softer/spongier feeling than stock. They stop great but I have to press harder than I did with the stock pads.

Just like everyone else, I recommend the Girodisc Magic pads. Super quiet and literally no dust.

I have them in stock and ready to ship, let me know when you want a set on the way

I've had good success with Racing Brake pads ET500's. I ordered those from Adam too. No dust, quiet, and great performance..

Another good pad, a little more bite than the Magics and in certain cases a little noise but still a GREAT street pad.
