carbotech's are dusty, mine haven't squealed all that much. i wouldn't use them for the street though, there's no need. just get oem ap1 pads and you'll be good to go.

not as dusty as OEM pads IMO , your Carbotech's haven't squeal because they sees tracks only, if you use it for street it would squeal. I ran xp10 and xp8 at the track, sometimes i don't get time to switch them back for a week or so. yes it will squeal on street. Just can't beat the stopping power of those pads.

that would make sense, except i don't track my car. i didn't say they don't squeal at all, just that my experience has been that they haven't squealed as much as some people would indicate.

your AP2 pads - very dusty
AP1 formulation is nowhere near as dusty, lots of people will tell you this.
