Default I got pretty mixed results when I search. Some said major skip, others said decent.
Just wanted to see what the current consensus is.

Default 2nd the dust from PBR ceramics, but at least it doesn't stick to the wheels like metallic
Usually, I can blast off the dust with my air hose, to make it look decent in a pinch.

Default They work but I swapped mine out right after I got them and went with PBR ceramics
which stop much better and only cost a little bit more. They seemed to be just as dusty as my OEMs

I just did them and like them, but RKA and Streakin suggested Axxis Ultimates and a few others.

Default the thing with pads is this, everyone will have an opinion. The mintex are close to stock
I don't have stock brakes, so I'm a little biased with braking, I don't care about dust, I wanna be able to stop quickly.

Default PBR Cermics/Axxis ultimates are a much better choice for that price range
if you don't mind the dust (i don't think its that bad)
