from what I understand, the only pads that have a problem with gases being created are ones with organic material in them.

i just installed slotted rotors with axis pads...my trip home(25 miles) was my break in...or so i thought. i got home and mine brakes were smoking like crazy.
its been about 5 days now and im about were you are at. un-even wearing, only at the very middle of the rotor though. i have noticed it is going away little by little
the stopping power is incredible!!!

yeah..idont know how much they cost because my mechanic hooks me up huge... i told him i wanted just oem replacement pads and rotors because i am looking at a big brake upgrade but cant afford it right now....so, i told him to order just plain and simple stuff and he got my stop tech slotted rotors with the axis pads. i think i paid a total of $50 dollars for everything.
and yes, the dust is crazy, but its a performance pad so what can ya do.
