I have an 02 Aero sedan here in the UK - 13 months old now with 22,000 miles - I had EBC Greens put in at 4,000 miles.

So 18,000 miles on what are they like? For the 1st 3 or 4 miles from cold the pedal needs a slightly harder press as the pads warm up - and then you have solid, progressive braking - with no hint of the 'grab' that the stock pads have. They are noticeably better if you have the need to really use them in anger from high speed.

The pads when new take 300+ miles to bed in - if your existing disk rotors are worn it'll take longer.

Ignore suggestions from drongos that the way to bed them in is a series of high speed braking sessions - you'll just end up glazing the pad surface and they will be poor then.

Disk Rotor wear is negligible - my front rotors are a shiny silver and smooth (rather than the dull grey grooved to hell with the stock pads). The pads themselves look close to the original thickness

Dust - you still get it, though it is perhaps 15-20% of the original stock pad residue.

As an example I did a 250 mile round trip yesterday, a fast cross country route - hard on the brakes (and lots of fun in an Aero) - looking out the window now at the front wheels they are just a slightly darker shade of silver than the rears - does that answer your question?
