Wondering if there are opinions on the DBA SP-SD Street Performance Brake Pads. I'm sure anybody searching has seen them on the kns website for dirt cheap. I'm just looking for something that for the 51 weeks a year will stop the car, and have a lot less dust. 95% of this car's life are taking the kids to practices, or commuting to work once/week or so. I'm perfectly comfortable swapping pads for the occasional HPDE for the occasional weekend.
 
I'm very happy with the Power Stop Extreme Performance pads. Maybe 10% less initial bite than the OEMs, but 95% (not kidding) less dust.
 
I've had the Power Stops in for a couple of weeks. Dust is a lot less. I feel the initial bite is better than the stock pads. I'm sure if pushed, these wouldn't be as good as the stock pads. But for street driving, they are great.

I have them on my 5 bw. I'm satisfied with way less dust and the stopping is pretty damn good.

I ran powerstops on my camaros and when I had a 4bw. I'm my opion the DBA pads stop way better than the powestops.

I purchased another set of the DBA pads after I installed the first set due to the great price and the stopping.

A few other guys on the forum are running them.
