Pads are generally rather hazy looking...its just their nature.

I have the PBR Delux models on my car (not my first choice but dad got them for me).

They work good after you abuse them a little (after they are broken in).

I have about 8k on mine and they are doing okay. Probably over 50% left...I drive hard

I think my last pads were mercedes brand....these new ones are not quite a nice but they dust very little. THey get better with time...just bleed your brakes and hold out for awhile
