I studied this site a long time before buying my crossfire and it seemed the answer to the brake dust was rotex gold pads. Since installing them I feel they are about equal to the original ones, if you drive hard ie.. drag race they will turn your wheels black in no time. Very disappointed in their quality, I don't understand what the hype is about them. I am going to take mine off only about 50 miles on them if anybody wants them pm me, $50 for all four wheels. I am going with a ceramic blend!
