Update: It's been a little over a month since installing these pads (along with new hard drives). I don't drive to work during the weekdays and the driving is probably less than 15 miles a day. I've kept it for 3 years and have never had so much brake dust on my wheels. To give you an idea it's been a week and a half since I've washed and detailed and my wheels are covered in so much brake dust you can't tell the color of my rims. That's ridiculous. I am very disappointed - the brake pads do not meet the advertised standards for noise and brake dust. They were installed with brand new rotors and are actually pretty loud.
