I saw that r1concepts thanked you for your above post so they must be active here. r1concepts, if you are reading this then why are the OE brakes cheaper than the ceramics on your site? Usually the ceramics cost more than regular pads. It's not an issue as I think that's great pricing, I just want to know which is truly better.
I really want very minimal brake dust as I am getting pretty annoyed with the dirt on my wheels. Power washed and waxed my truck the other day and no more than half a day of driving my wheels are brown again.

When I apply with the oem brakes I use to feel soft spots like its not a consistent pressure. With these it feels consistent and my confidence with them has increased.

I saw a big difference on brake dust being minimal. As in I hardly notice them after a few weeks of no washing.

I've had my Optimum OE's now for 3 months now replacing both fronts and rears at the same time and to me these brakes are 3x better than originals as far as brake consistency goes. Dust is almost non-existent. I've not tried the ceramics and I'm sure they work well too. I wouldn't mind anyone trying them and letting us know how they are.

I still have nothing negative to say. The car’s pedal feel continues to feel solid. Stops as expected with no brake noise. And the best part is I have not wash my car for 3 weeks now due to the rain being on and off here in socal and my wheels shine still comes through. It does not look brown muddy like before.

Make sure you understand Brakeworld's warranty before you purchase brakes from them. I bought ceramics from then and the one's I received performed poorly as you can see in this thread, and started squeaking loudly whenever I stepped on the brakes.
They would not do anything to remedy the situation.

I just installed the R1concepts ceramic pads on my GLC43. Don't know yet if they're less dusty.
Here is another option. I switch to this https://www.r1concepts.com/details/i...ar+Optimum_OEp
from r1 concepts. No more brake dust and I really feel they work better, more consistent braking feel!

I didn't open the boxes yet but did you have to change the brake pad sensor ?
I am going to do the front first since no tools to push the piston back are needed .
I need to understand how the rear needs to be done before taking everything off .
Any good video recommended ?
Thanks
