More feedback/comments wanted for Tire Rack's Satisfied Pro Brake Pads

i've done a searched and seen some positive comments on it so far, but i'm
just looking for some more feedback with Tire Rack's Satisfied Pro brake pads...ceramic or non ceramic, brembo(prefered) or non-brembo models.

How's the noise/squeek? the dust? the feel?

I would love to get some hawks, Project MU's, etc...but money is just hard to come by lately.

I grew some b@lls and went ahead and bought the brake pads I will post my opinions for anyone that was curious about them. This is for the OEM brembo brake system.

Recommended Break-in procedure as follows but sucks since some info was in kilometers :

10-20 brakings from 30km/h(18.64mph) to 15km/h(9.32mph) allowing 30 seconds for each braking.

Avoid panic stops for first 300km(186.41miles)

Full seating occurs within 1000miles

I have the Pro Brake Pad Ceramic (non-brembo) and I love them, feels like the OEM brakes to me, no noise/squeek and no dust (well very, very little dust).

Just wanted to post an update...on these pads for brembo systems.

wish i can test it out more on hot summer days but i'm stuck with this cold 40degree weather. I finally have it installed and pass the breaking/seating period.

Initial bite is nice, long braking seems a tad bit weaker than OEM, just a tad bit.

Dust is way way less than OEM. Maybe a full two weeks until i start to noticed the dull color change on the wheels(not to mention it's been raining on and off frequently), as oppose to OEM which is practically gray in two days.

Noise is very quiet. However, I did notice a noise a couple mornings where the squeek sounded like someone rubbing their finger on top of a wine glass. Not like a squeek of a Mack truck like OEM. Then again, i'm thinking it squeek due to the cold weather or still within the break-in period like it states on the brake's brochure.

Overall, for the price and performance...I'm very "satisfied"(no pun intended), ok let me put it in a better way...i'm very impress.
