AEM's were the exact oppisite no dust at all, but the pad isn't any better then stock for feel and braking, stopping appears to be roughly the same.
The Hawk HPS have a minor bit of dust but they bite like hell, best pad I have ever used bar none.
Also you don't always need to turn your rotors between pads, if the surface is clean and free of heavy grooves and the run-out indicates the surface is true and flush to the pad. You may simply clean the rotor surface well and install new pads and follow the break in per the pad directions. I'm on my 3rd set of pads and still have the original rotors because I care for them as recommended by Honda and I check the surface regularly and I let my brakes cool down properly after hard use. With any luck I'll be able to get one more set of pads from these OE rotors.
...Let me ask you this question. you might be able to help......
I have brembo cross drilled/slotted rotors.
I want to get a set of brake pads that do not squeel like a pig when braking. I currently have Axxis Metal Master pads ( semi- metallic ). My dad tells me that that type of material (semi-metallic pads ) squeeks .The noise will go disappear for a day or so and then return.....
Pads that have asbestos limit the squeeling noise when braking. Which makes me ask, can I use OEM pads on the rotors that I have?
Or are there any good pads out there that dont squeel like these..
I forgot to mention the braking is excellent. Just the noise is kinda annoying at times.
