    HPS

    Rarely squeal (after brake in)
    Less dust than stock
    Initial bite - meh I was expecting better, they feel better than stock after that though.

    I say they're decent for the money.

    I have Axxis Ultimates, great bite and stopping power but they squeak pretty loud. I heard that on Evom giro magic pads or something are good.

    I recently got the Giro 'magic pads'.
    Still bedding them in with only about 100 miles on them, but they seem to have good initial bite, strong stopping power, and no sqeal at all. They come installed with anti-sqeal shims which help. Very little brake dust compared to the oem brembo and DS2500 pads. The price on these pads is nice too.
