However, they left so much brake dust on my front wheels that I started to dread washing my car and wheels just to see the front wheels black and nasty three days later. I switched to textar, yellow box, and have been very happy with the decrease in brake dust. I can't feel any difference in performance. Rotor wear??? It's too early to measure, but from what I've heard, there's little difference between pagid (American oem) and textar (European oem).
I've seen these pads last around 150k miles easily and they're quiet as a mouse with near zero dust. There's no fuss on the warranty, I can get them anywhere, etc.

I'm going to do more research but I'm leaning heavily that direction.

I hear that, I'm trying to get a vehicle for someone in my family and the person with the vehicle sure does not seem up to selling the vehicle they listed.
