Anyone using Hawk pads in their Brembo's?
 
On the look out for some good but less dusting pads to replace the OEM pads and found the following part numbers from Hawk:

HB640Z.550
HB640F.550

1st one seems to be a ceramic lower dusting pad and the other an upgraded one which will have more dust although probably less than the OEM pad.

Anyone using these or any others that they can recommend?

Heard carbotech bobcat mentioned on here with mixed results but low dust.

I just bought these Hawk pads but have yet to put them on my 09. UPS only dropped them off to me yesterday along with new rotors.
Have used Hawk before on an 04 Mini and loved them. Great stopping power and much lower dust. I liked the Hawks so much I put them on my wife's car (Ford Edge) and my pickup (F150) last fall.
I highly recommend them.

Carbotech pads are the most rotor friendly and best performing pads we have found. They are the only ones we us both on the road and for the track.

Which did you get, Ceramic or HPS?

Would be good to get some comments once bedded in.
