I'm beyond happy with my Carbotech. Not a lot of dust compared to some I've used before.

Less dust than whatever the previous owner was using for the front. Have had no issue with brake dust for the rear.

Light dust, good wear characteristics, and good stopping from my Hawk HPS pads.

gonna have to look into the Hawk HPS pads for my next change then......anyone running the A8 upgrade with these? Any difference between other pads you may have used prior? I have no issue with the pads I'm running now, but if it can be better with a little less dust.....

don't want to threadjack......
