If you care more about your braking ability than the dust on your wheels, then this is for you. My 2011 Rav 4 was terrible to stop when it came to standard pads. I dropped them 3 months after buying the car and installing EBC. I will never return. Yes, they produce more dust than ceramics, but my confidence that my car will respond the way I intend it to in an emergency makes it worth cleaning the wheels several times a year.
