Yes actually. I was giving some time before I posted my experiences but I forgot to make an update.
So I went with the Hawk Performance Ceramic pads. Been running them since February. About 2800 miles on them now.
-Less bite.
-Much less bite for the first 2-3 stops in the morning.
-About the same stopping power after the bite.
-Wasn't getting any squealing until a month or two ago and I only get it backing out of the drive way. Never any while driving.
-Fitment is a little looser than OEM. After washing the car and I do my reverse and forward into the garage to shake water loose I hear a click as they move in the calipers.
-Rear pads don't have slots to put the wear sensor.
-Much much less brake dust.
In my opinion it's not worth it unless you REALLY want less brake dust. They work fine and I'll keep them in until I need to replace them. But then I'll go back to OEM unless Akebono releases pads for these calipers. The front calipers are a bit of a pain to switch out compared to the rear so I don't really feel the need to change them out until I have to.
