Rotora big brake kit pads question (PICS)
I just installed a rotora big brake kit on the cl. I recently put rims on it so it was a requisite that the brakes be upgraded. The stock calipers are f-n ugly not to mention the puny warping oem rotors. First off i searched and found old info and was hoping some updated info could be provided. For anyone running this set up, what have you found to have the most bite, the most durability, and the least dusting. The latter being the most important with the rims. I don't track the car nor drive like an ass so i really only brake hard when i want to. At those times though i would like optimum performance. I bought them used from habib with 300 miles on them, thanks again bro for the deal, and thustly had to go with the light blue caliper. Either way it fills out the rims so much better, here are some pics.

If they only have 300 miles, why change out the pads?
My Brembos turn my wheels black in two days of driving

i want to start fresh with some new pads, mostly piece of mind. i am saving up for your brakes and these were an interm purchase. i thought ceramic pads dusted more than composite?

Im not one to talk though, 11 thousand miles half of my front Brembos are gone - theyre fairly inexpensive for Brembos, I think the service rep told me they were only 500 (in the middle of screaming at me).
