I'm very over the dust from the Brembo pads, so glad to hear a good review on them.
Some background....
I compete in supersprints and started out with Ferodos on the car as a street/track pad..
They weren't too bad as a track pad but since they got so hot at the track they squealed like buggery on the road and the dust was ridiculous.....
Talked to Matt and I ended up getting a second set of rotors and pads so I could swap between races and street duty.....not a big deal because I take the wheels off to fit semis for competition anyway....
I run Winmax W7 on the racetrack and there awesome.....180kph into turn 2 at Eastern Creek and not much less into Turn 8 and they just pull up every time.....very happy there...
For road use we went to the opposite end of the scale and went with W1's because I don't want dust or the squealing when I stop at the lights...
Soft pad that isn't really made for "sustained" high speed stops but still very effective when you need to pull it up in a hurry and best of all....no squeal and bugger all dust.......
Regarding wear......I installed them over 12 months ago and only checked them last week when I serviced the car......still look almost new....
Well worth a try mate....;)
