I use them, great street pads imo
Can't speak for how they go on the track, but for spirited street/mountain driving they go well and pretty low dust

I concur with Daniel. Had these on my previous car which was set up for the hills and they never missed a beat. Considering getting them again when my Intima's are worn. Low dust, great bite when warmed up. No noise.
Cheers

Agree with the others.
Great street pad, do well in the twisties.
I got them to fade, but I was working the brakes hard on a downhill mountain run.

Mine sqeal. Have from day one. Machined rotors, greased shims, tried everything and cant get rid of it.
Not much bite when cold, but once they are warmed up they are pretty good. They do pull you up hard if you need it though.

The squealing has got better over time to the point where I can only hear it when I have the windows down. Still there though.

If it squeals, pull them out and scrub the surface, then rebed.

What he said.
Mine only squealed if after the missus drove me car. She tended to ride the brakes and glaze up the pads.
One or two hard stops shut them up.

I run these in my SH Forester (f&r) on standard size calipers. No too dusty. Great grip when cold.

QFM's are great. A little dustier than Hawk Ceramic, but they take a lot of punishment. I did a Wakefield track day the other week and they took a flogging without showing any obvious signs of fade.
Good grip when cold, but they are better warmed up first.
The only squealing issues I've ever had were down to my used and abused caliper shim plates needing replacement. After that, all quiet.

I was going to procrastinate, but I put it off...
