Still running stock but have a set of Carbotech Bobcat 1521 pads sitting on the shelf waiting for the OEM pads to die.

Alpine Silver Most performance mods need a watch and timed course to demonstrate actual improvement. Few deliver the advertised claims. Many are actually worse than stock. The best performance mods are made to the driver.Emotional arguments - They're not just for chicks anymore.

Stick w/ OE and deal w/ the nasty dust brakes. There's always a *catch* w/ aftermarket, either with fitmen issues, noises, uneven deposit (aka warping rotors).

My OEM pads were shot, so I replaced them with Hawk Ceramics. They seem to be working pretty well, stopping powder is decreased ever so slightly...brake dust has improved tremendously but one thing...I still have a light squeal at stopping. Maybe someone can chime in and help out with this problem? LOBUX????

It seems like we have 3 good options for our brake pads, its mainly Hawks, Ferrodo, and Carbotech, I have like new brake pads in my F but I cant stand the brake dust. Im planning to switch them out and actually ordered a set of Hawk Hps but my buddy said the Hawks were having fitting issues and it was tba. Now I dunno what pads to get instead. any suggestions?

Hawk is currently redesigning the IS-F pads, something to do with the shim placements.

^^^^^ Me too!!! My front pads are at 3mm and I don't want to get OEM dusty pads again. What other proven "dust-free" options do we have?
