I just installed them on my B8 and have to admit that they did save me on the morning NYC commute. Thank god for seatbelts, as I felt my head detaching from my neck. However they squeal and the dust is there...maybe not as bad as stock, but still there. I have the Hawk Ceramics and plan on installing them when I have time to go back to the shop. The shop recommended the HPS...should have listened to my gut.

Hawk HPS are crap. OEM or no name are better.
