I found that the Hawk FPS pads, have virtually no dust, and last a long time, even when driven hard.

yep, we use the hawk ceramic pads on the specV with the brembo calipers... very easy to clean/ not as often to clean up, and I believe that i have an extra set at the office if anyone wants to buy a set?

I put the nismo pads on with the EBC slotted and dimpled rotors and the brake dust is minimal now. Before I replaced them I'd wipe my rims down every day. However, I do wish I would have gone with the EBC pads instead but I had the Nismo pads sitting for 6+ months

muzzle jump isnt anymore than my glock 40cal, i was surprised at the little recoil from this. My glock has been my daily carry for a long time but this kimber will replace it once i get enough rounds through it to have it broken in and feel its good to go. for the 3" barrel it was shredding 4 and 6" targets from 20-50 feet.
