I don't know how many miles mine has lasted me, but I've gone through 3 lapping days and almost 2 years of daily driving with them (not including winters).
from what i've seen and heard.. they dust crazy and squeel crazy style.. i rememberin between stops with a cpc member.. his rims started out silver and turned into gunmetal
don't they kindda chew up the rotor on daily driving?
I had 3 sets of them before going to the Cobalt GTS. My first two sets I really liked. They each lasted about a year which included DD, full season of autoX (about 12-15 events) and 2-3 HPDEs at Hallett. ...then my last set only lasted me 2 months (basically DD and 2 track days). I called Hawk about it, because one pad each side of the front axle came apart from the shoe and destroyed a $160 pair of power slots. They didn't care...didn't even try to give me a discount on another set of pads. So, I said screw them...and went with Cobalt.
I haven't looked back. The GTSs are more quiet, stop better, and I think they dust less.

They do dust quite a bit, I have them. Escpeially on silver or shiny wheels(i have chrome wheels arrr ), it shows very easily, as for squealing, you hear it sometimes but nothing too annoying.
i have a question about what you guys call improved braking...
with my car i always seem to have a problem with locking the wheels, ESPECIALLY in the rain, like i think i could pull more g's turning then braking, so anytime i say dont' notice the car ahead of my stopped, and i suddenly brake a little, the wheels will lock a little, and then i'm forced to pump the brakes
when you guys talk about improved braking, does that mean you can stop faster, like decelerate more without locking the wheels?
how is that so using the same tires and rims, but just changing your brake pads?

it does, but the wheels still skid, i think its because the either the ABS is messed up, or the rims aren't stock size like they should be, like the abs tries to pump the brakes, but the car still skids... so i have to pump the brakes

I'm thinking you should look into new tires, your pads are doing the job, your tires dont seem to be....
they look to have ok tread... but maybe i'll look into it more... they can turn really hard, they just can't hold traction under accel and decel very well
as i said i bet i could pull more g's turning then braking and acceling... i think it MIGHT have to do with camber i don't know
they are falkan ziex's
