Too early to tell. I'll wash the truck tonight and let you know this weekend. There was some dust after the break in visible in the slots but thats to be expected. According to the listing the pads produce low dust and that was also mentioned in the reviews. Anything has to be better than the OEM's.

It's been 5 days so far and still no dust on the wheels. So far I'm very happy with this purchase.

So you'd say they are pretty good? I don't know much about them like ceramic vs. OEM vs. etc.. But i'd just like to know how these rate versus the other stuff and the rotors as well. I'm thinking about buying them tonight.

Braking is definately better than stock. They bite hard right away so you have to adjust your braking effort when you first step on the brakes. I still get a little head bob if I'm not thinking about it. They are suppose to be more resistant to warping and the pads are "Evolution Clean Rides" from Power Stop. They are quiet as of this morning have no visible dusting. There is a very this layer of dirt on the wheels but it's been raining here lately so that may just be road spray. I've been known to be **** with my truck and I'm very happy with them so far. As for the difference between ceramic and OEM, I believe the ceramics are cooler and won't be as hard on the rotors. Maybe getting a little more life out of the rotors. Besides the less dust part. I hate the dust.

Any time Blang. I have more miles on them and I'm still very happy with the brakes and pads. No noticable dust on the wheels yet. Stops are smooth as glass.

I helped a friend put a set of these on his 97 Explorer. I was quite impressed, as they appeared to be of good quality. However, he only got about 500 miles on them before his trans went out :-(

It is important to break them in according to the directions! Don't get eager and just go for a ride right away!!

Just got done installing rotors and pads, what should of taken a couple of hours took me over 6 to complete. I painted the calipers while I had them off. When I removed my passenger front caliper, chunks of something fell out, it ended up being one of the caliper cylinders had busted, so being a holiday I had to drive 50 miles to the nearest part store to buy a new caliper. Brakes are on and I will break them in, in the morning. They fit and look awesome.

Haven't been able to wash the truck in 2 weeks now and there's no visible brake dust on the wheels! I am satisfied and will leave my feedback now. They asked that you wait until you have them for a little while to leave feedback. 100% is legit.
