    All OEM. No noise, no dust, and great stopping power to boot. Only downside is the fade under hard abuse.

    Mine's the red one.

    Depends on which ones you get. If you get the Full-Race pads, then yeah, they're gonna squeal. Get the Street-Race ones for clean, solid stopping power. Hawk gets the job done well for a good price.

    Good feel, doesnt kill rotors, minimal squeal (they squeal if you dont get them to operating temp a lot... not a problem for me ), and the dust isnt terrable and wont eat wheels

    OEM right now on the audi, but they feel pretty damn good and response well under hard driving.

    I may go OEM once they are done, if not maybe EBC, I had them on my old civic and they did pretty good to.
