FoMoCoSho the dust was not bad after the break in. The break in they recommend made some serious dust. I took off all 4 wheels, cleaned and polished before I put the brakes on, so the wheels were super clean prior to the kit be installed. I took them off after the break in and did the same thing, there was some serious dust. After that time the dust was no worse than original. I followed the break in procedure on the power stop site verbatim. The only issue I had was the chirpers*(auto correct got me) for the front pads did not work, so I cut them off.

Im going to be getting me a powerstop kit off amazon in the near future. When i had my wheel off during my PTU fluid change i noticed the pad was pretty low.

Might as well change them all.

Will be good to have a review soon!  Since they are rated for cop/fleet duty, I sure hope they perform.
 
I just ordered the Top Cop kit from Carid. They were super helpful. They even called Powerstop for me to verify fitment on 2013 PP SHO. Then they price matched the lowest price I found on Amazon. Good people there. I'll let you all know how good they perform after I install. Gotta wait for the caliber paint I ordered too lol. Then wait 24 hours to drive her so it can set up.
 
Well after having the Top Cop pads on for a little bit, I can say that I'm really happy with them. They bring her to a stop much better than the stock did and really haven't noticed a increase in dust. Wet weather here lately and she slows down and stops much better IMHO.

Really heavy duty rotors too. Couldn't believe how much they weighed. Old off new on, no problem.

Man, those factory wheels really show off the brakes.  I kinda want to see how they'd look on a black, 2014 MKS, since I just did brakes on my car and painted the calipers.

I did a wheel swap in the garage and I didn't like it.

Well maybe it'll look good on a 2013+, if it's black... Dang it, let me live in my fantasy world, lol.
Yes, but he should've taken pics and posted them for you lol.

So a few months later, you still like these? Anything you'd change? I'm in need of a full brake job and am considering this setup (D&S Rotors w/ TopCops) after reading on the forums tonight.

Do you happen to remember if you had to do a custom kit from CarID or if they have something ready to order? I couldn't find any mention of TopCop pads on their site in a kit for the SHO. I figured I can call and find out whats up Monday but any info you can remember would be greatly appreciated.
