Almost Zero Brake Dust, Very Happy
After driving German cars for over 30 years and putting up with lots of brake dust it is such a joy being able to take a long drive and come home with almost zero brake dust on my wheels. Performance is awesome so it is possible to combine good braking performance with low dust. Took a nice long ride yesterday and cleaned my wheels today. I was pleasantly surprised to find almost no brake dust on them. Very happy.

I used ceramics on my Mustang (HAWK pads) and they squealed at low speeds extremely loudly.
Any noise from these? Have you driven them at different temps? Here in MN we vary from high 30s to about 100 * F for corvette weather. (Obviously we get much lower in late dec to early feb)

I would like more information on the Carbotech. I understand lower dust but I have been told they supply poorer performance and squeaks compared to OEM. The performance on the OEM on my Z51 are great. Trying to decide if I should switch out the pads when I put the cold weather set of wheels on in the next few weeks.
