RacingBrake pads

I'm running Hawk HPS pads with RacingBrake rotors, and I'm expecting that the pads will need to be replaced within the next year. I was surprised to see the RacingBrake now has their own line of pads.

Has anybody tried them? I've been happy with the Hawks, but they are pretty dirty. If the RacingBrake pads are less dusty, I'd definitely like to give them a try.

I put them on a few weeks back and I have noticed that the dusting is not bad at all. I have been busy and was just able to wash the car today after maybe 3-4 weeks and the wheels were not suprisingly not hard core dusted. They are a good choice.

I ran RacingBrake Rotors with RacingBrake Ceramic Pads before my BBK and I loved them. They didn't dust nearly as much as OEM. Very good choice in my opinion

I had hawk hp pads and they were dusty as hell but very grippy.

I had them two times so far in front and rear. I got racing brakes since they were 20 dollars cheaper at most vendors.

Racingbrake pads dont dust as much they keep my rims a bit cleaner but they aren't as punchy as the hawk hp pads. No big deal I was used of the hawk hp pads being like stomp on the breaks you really stop.

racingbrakes if i stomp they really stop but not as abrupt and punchy as the hawks.

not sure about if i wanna go back cuz im pretty happy with racingbrakes.
