Default DBA's installed

I finally got around to swapping over my cars rotors and pads. Matt was very helpful and suggested that I go with the Winmax W1 front pads and Project U's for the rear with the new DBA rotors.
I went through the bedding in process yesterday afternoon.
I'm interested to see how much dust these pads create compared to the Brembo pads.
Again, awesome service from Race Brakes.

If Project Mu NS400s (Which they are as I decided to look at the picture) ... bugger all/non-existent dust. Nice bite as well.

Good thing I checked your Signature just then Matt .... I would have gone to the old address

So far there has been little or no brake dust on the rims. I ran my finger around the fronts and came back clean. The Brembo pads would have dusted up like usual.
No issue at the rears.
The fronts (Winmax's) have started to squeal upon first brake application after the brakes have cooled down or in the mornings. It goes away straight after. They squeal when braking after reversing but the Brembo's did that as well.

I just looked at the front pads and they are squared off on the edge it may pay to put a chamfer on both edges of the brake pad and see if that helps. Keep an eye on them and see if the noise goes away once they bed in longer.

Sounds like a plan
