I've been using Textar pads on the front for about a year, now. The dust is less, they stop well, they are wearing well, and they are priced well. They are quiet and the Balo discs don't seem to have much wear. I drive in Wash D.C. traffic every week day and have about 18000 miles on the pads. They are the best brake pads that I've found to stop the heavy SDL. (It was another thread on this forum that put me on to the Textar pads.)
