Thanks Brutal.
I'm not up on the new and different materials that are used these days. Do you know what the difference is between the ceramic and non-ceramic pads? Do they both eat up the rotors the same or is one easier on the rotors than the other?
The only aftermarket pads that I've ever used are the Hawk HPS pads. They dust like all of the others. I've found they need a little heat before they really grip.

Hey Brutal; I for one value your opinion.
Which brake system did you say you have..the standard or "R" package? I have the "larger 325mm rotor/single piston" calipers on my earlier XKR...before the 4 pot "R" package was a available. I asked you guys questions on brakes before. I think I might have to run spacers to keep my Double Five wheels and R brake calipers...don't know if I want to do that. I did see Welsh is selling a front only R package for $1500: OEM 4 piston calipers, pads, drilled rotors, dust shields, 4 bolts and hoses. I guess there would be no issues running them in front with standard singles in the rear. In your opinion would it be worth it, if 99% of my driving is "normal" street driving?
