I've read a lot about other pads with more stopping power but also more dust so I gave these a try. very very happy with the low dust levels compared to the stock pagid pads/everything else on my pre-transition BMW. I don't see any noticeable difference in braking performance - BMW brakes are that good anyway, they just don't have a dust problem. I didn't have 20% dust like on my standard pads. I recommend it to everyone, for every car.
