To be honest I haven't noticed any more or less dust than the Hawks - but I wash my car every weekend so dust is a non-issue with me. I want better performance. The Hawks drove me nuts after the squeeking got constant.

Interesting. The squeaking is driving me nuts as well, I will give the ceramics a try next.

Nice choice! I'm running greenstuff pads and some cheap NAPA rotors. they seem to work well for my style of driving (occasionally spirited, mostly highway).

I've got Powerslot with hawk pads all around. They have always been good to me. The only time I've had brake fade was when my brakes were red hot and smoking. I pushed the pedal in, but it just kept pushing back. I barely made it to the stop sign. Next time, I think I might go with drilled/slotted. The slots will reduce brake fade, drilled dissapates heat better.

Yeah, I read some reviews on Tirerack.

Said these pads are good for street (bad on track)

I just hope they dont warp my rotors out.
