If you're not concerned about weight, get the Odyssey PC1200MJT. Fits with the stock retainer, too.

I like it!

I'd love to see more specs, the conversion process, or even what the company plans to do in the future.

For simple things like this, it makes you wonder why they didn't do it from the factory. Though it might be legit. Any other before-and-after tests out there?

It is basically the same steps as changing pads (if you're doing the remove-whole-caliper method), except that you also need to disconnect, and then re-attach the brake lines. Here's the basics:

I did a quick search and I found these for $80 a set. A cheap way to lessen brake dust, but doesn't eliminate it. I've had these pads for about 5 years and 25k miles. No complaints.
