    Since GSLrallysport has been selling them for a while on here, I figure there must be enough people on the forums using them by now.

    Getting my zed ready to go back on the road. Needs rear brakes and my main concern is dust. I'm sure they stop fine, if anyone has HPX lemme know how much dust actually comes off of these pads.

    I always used Endless pads because they stop like nothing else and the dust cleans off easily but it's more than twice the bloody price. Something cheaper for the rear this time round would be preferable so throw some recommendations at me if you know a good alternative.

    Got them on the front of my zed with 33 Brembos squeal is pretty bad but no shims on the Brembos. Stops well though.

    Mine were a bit noisy until bedded in. Pretty good since then tho.

    I've got front and rear of these pads along with new front and rear rotors that will probably be going on this weekend.
    If all goes to plan, I'll go for a good drive and let you know about dust etc. :)

    I've got them on the convertible and they are a great pad with good feel and good stopping power, next to no dust or noise.

    Stay away from the A1RM - they eat rotors on a street only car, but are supposed to be good on the track

    I've got A1RMs, were great on the track and minimal dust but as mentioned have destroyed my rotors, I've got some HPX pads and new rotors to go one when I get around to it.

    Not often enough these days. When I drive it, it is mostly city driving with the occasional highway trip. I've had the HPX's for several years and many thousand k's

    ive got HPX on my car mike. come drive it if you like..

    i went from nissan OEM to HPX and what a difference..

    my OEM pad was seperating from the backing plate..

    these pads feel real similar to ultimates and have very little brake dust...
    VERY LITTLE. come have a look at my wheels.. been about 3000km since ive cleaned my wheels.
