I dunno...I think the thread in general is about politics no matter how you slice it. But yea...looking at it again they were quick to hop on specifically bringing up the name.
Is it more dust from the rear left than all three of the other wheels or just more from the rear left than the rear right? You sure they put the ceramic pad on that side? Hopefully you kept your pads. Your rears should never generate more dust than the fronts but if the rear left is engaging a little more than the rear right you might get more dust... Might just be in need of a brake bleed in that case.

I'm betting you gave them your rear right stock pads to replace your rear left stock pads. Your ceramics are probably still sitting in one of the Hawk boxes.
I have to swap out my pads this weekend (those race pads are incredibly freakin' loud - like bus braking loud but louder). If you can find a nice level spot and have a half-hour to kill we can do yours.

You can use my garage tomorrow if you want. I work on Sunday though. And it is the right pads. Dust went from black to brown. And I did clean them after we swapped the pads

I'll be around tomorrow if you guys want to work on them and use the air compressor. You really are welcome to come over. Only, during the day hours, please.....LOL

FWIW I'm a lot better at this then I was when we first did John's car. I can do fronts in ~45 minutes and spent about 90 minutes doing my rears. I'm thinking it'll be even a little less after all the tire changes I did last weekend.
