I have been using these for 3 weeks now and my front rims are still clean. I am amazed.
Stopping is a little bit different... but its still new and the rotors are also new.
I just can't get over how less brake dust is being produced.

Yep. I have the Akebono ceramics on all four corners and they leave virtually no visible dust. Even had to get into ABS yesterday when things on the road went awry... They don't have the initial torque of the stock pads, but they work just fine. I've even towed a small Uhaul with no drama at all. Not sure I'd put a huge trailer back there w/these though...
