Default Cool Carbon Pads

Anybody use Cool Carbon Performance pads? If so what can I expect? I just put them on to replace the Akebono pads I put on last summer. The Akebono's are ridiculously clean, but have NO bite.
Cool Carbon advertises a higher friction level, better performance and low dust. I'm expecting more dust than the Akebono, with a great deal more bite.
TIA

Did the cool carbon pads w/new front rotors. Lot of initial squealing under stop and go driving. So took it out to bed the pads. About 10 sixty to zero real hard stops and that did it. Now I love them and not a lot of dust.

I've been running Cool Carbon pads for about 4 months. My previous two sets of pads were Textar (ie OEM).
So far I've been very happy with them. No noise, good cold bite, and very predictable braking. I'm not sure about dust since my wheels hide brake dust pretty well.

I haven't had them on the track yet, but so far I have been very happy with my decision to go with these over the Hawk pads I was also considering.

I'll be at Mid-Ohio June 20th-22nd, so I can give a track analysis after that.
