New Hawk Ceramic Low Dust. Front HB538Z.760 D111 Rear HB544Z.628 D1108 Cost Approx $360-$380 from most vendors here in Oz and OS landed. Fitted front and rears today, not too hard a job. Rears needed a special tool to rotate piston clockwise under pressure so I had to make one or the wheels...

Couple of thousand KKs later

Working very well. Feel is excellent. Only change is the grab I used to get from initial touch has gone, this is a plus as sometimes Id throw passengers forward if I forgot
Dust is so much less, more like when you drive on an unmade road for a while.
Originals used to give black wheels in a day.
Now takes about 2 weeks to get anywhere near before.
Very happy with the choice.
