So I've had them on the Z for about 1500 miles and they're definetely broke in.

I agree they have less dust than the stock pads, but I noticed there is a lot more dust on the front wheels compared to the rears.

ANYONE ELSE ALSO NOTICE THIS?

At least, the stockers dusted more evenly.

All cars I've had, or have now, with 4-wheel disk brakes always dust more in the front. The Z has more padlets up front (6 as opposed to 4 on each wheel). More pad material = more dust. Even though the Bobcats are a single pad design, the fronts are larger than the rears.
