I want real stopping power and fade free thank you, these Hawk HP-Plus dust a load but they STOP! Like NOW!!! It is worth it, just to have to clean the front wheels a little more frequently.

Hmm....yes but they stop a hair better than street pads. Technically they are street pads. Ok for some, but I auto-x so I need more high temp fade resistant power braking!!

run the stock wheels without the wheel covers.. you'll never know the difference

don't get porterfield r-4 if you are worried about dust..
they will dust..
then if your rims get wet with hot dust.. they will bake to your rims or wheel covers
