These are the deluxe PBR pads.
As I said there is a tiny bit of dust, but at least 10 times less than the other common brands I have tried for the past 18 years.
And, what dust there was after 100 miles just sprayed off - no rubbing.
Sure, the pad wears and the dust is created on all brakes; but maybe these don't have that gooey, sticky dust that the others have, and most of it blows away, just like on American and Japanese cars.

As far as not being "good" brakes, I think they will do the things I require of a big wallowing 18 year-old sedan:
1. Feel and stop just fine under normal conditions.
2. Take the wheels into ABS mode (once) if I really need them.
3. Last reasonably long, not eat pads, not squeal, and work in the rain.

I've tried them on 1&2. So far, they are "good" brakes.

Those who equate dust with performance should try out my Corvette; virtually no dust, 50k pad life. And, gee, they work kinda good, too.

I'll let you guys know if the rotors go away, or if water kills the brakes. That's the only potential downside I see so far.
