Do I need to also switch sensors? I also plan on swapping pads for the track. Would I need a separate set of sensors for those pads?
No, the sensors are wired to the car. Just pop them out of the old pads and pop them into the new pads.

or just pop them up and zip tie them out of the way if you are going to be constantly changing pads.

Here's the dust on my finger after two weeks of driving without washing. Rubbed the inside barrel of the wheel.

You need both, one set is for the front and the other is for the rear.

I'm guessing no one has tested this here but will these reduce the stopping distance over OEMs or increase.

Would love to cut down on break dust but safety matters more. Further, any idea how these perform in the cold?

They're perform as good or a little better than OEM. As with all pads they performed better when warmed up. These are street pads only, not a track pad.

Just picked up a set of these. Like most of you, I hate the massive amount of brake dust our OEM pads produce!

hows the long term use of these holding up? people still happy with them? I get lot of my fellow M owners say that ceramics squeak a lot, but I guess the people who actually have them on their car can obviously have the best reviews to give, hehe

I probably have only about 5k miles on mine. They seem as good as OEM to me. And I'd gladly pay for another set even if they only lasted 10k miles just for the lack of brake dust. Price is right too.

No squealing other than right after you wash that little bit of rust causes a quick squeal. Beyond that they're silent and competent.

The only time I have had squealing is backing out first thing when it's damp.
