I don't know if you've guys seen my Mika v3.0 thread but I report on the performance of the Cool Carbons there.
I'll reiterate. These brakes pads are amazing. They have good bite on the street and the dust virtually non-existent. I got mine from ECS Tuning for $189 and I got EBC Redstuff for my rear pads since Cool Carbon doesn't make pads for the rear. I got the EBC pads from AutoAnything.com for only $50 bucks and they work awesome too! No dust on the rear wheels whatsoever either! I recently got new wheels so I knew I wanted to get something that makes very little brake dust. Additionally I took these pads on the track at Fontana for Bimmerfest. They honestly performed poorly on the racetrack, but still exhibited a little bit better performance than the OEM BMW pad for M cars. I was getting brake fade pretty bad despite having upgraded stainless steel brake lines and racing brake fluid. The weight of the M5 doesn't help either. For track days, I'm going to switch to Carbotech Race Pads in the future and see how they do.

Sorry to bring the thread back alive but im have crazy brake dust on my M6 Gran Coupe and with Gold wheels its very noticeable. Do you guys reccommend the Carbotech or Cool Carbon?? Is one better than the other? Anyone have experience with both?
Thanks!

I have Cool Carbon for the fronts. No change to stopping power and extremely less dust. Definitely recommend...

Same here; cool carbon fronts with no noticeable decrease in stopping power and dust is non-existent. Hope this helps.

Are the cool carbon pads and Akebono pads black? I have the Carbotech 1521's and my only complaint was having to paint them black since they come bright red.

You may want to look into Akebono as a back-up plan. I have them on my rears but have not tried on the fronts.

LOL; thought maybe they would have added fronts. So what are the options available for the Fronts at the moment?

Any reason why you went Akebono in the rear as opposed to the 1521s?
