    I'm running the Hawk HPS on two cars - one with stock brakes (01 RS) and one with frozen rotors/H6 upgraded rear (05 WRX)... I can honestly say that dust simply isn't an issue. Any dust that appears doesn't even stick to the rims.
    Just my $.02.

    I have hawk hps pads as well... as far as dust goes.. I have not clue, I have dark gray/ gun metal rims so I never see it and I probably wash my car about 3 times a week..

    Porterfield R4S not so much dust but ate rotors for breakfast
