Slightly dusty... greyish dust. Stops pretty nicely. Akebono Euro is a better choice.

Mine have been on for about 40,000 miles and do not look worn very much. Minimal dust. However, they do not seem to stop as well as stock.

Stock dusty one grabs hard when cold and normal driving... but if pushed hard as in emergency braking... not as good as the PBR ceramic. I still find the Axxis MetalMaster grabs the best but first two braking is a bit numb.

good point. I have noticed that when I really need to stop they do so. Just seems to take more pressure in normal driving

I find them VERY dusty, they dust my wheels more than OEM pads.
But the braking power is amazing on and off the track. They tend to need a little bit of heat before optimal braking.

I keep them as a track/street pad on the 635csi. And I use them as a race pad on the rear of the race car.

I was thinking Raybestos QS when I posted -sorry if it caused confusion.

Raybestos QS and PBR Ultimate is not the same thing... gee! No wonder you got a different experience on brake performance... LOL.
