OK, after only about 200 miles all I can say is that I really like these pads much better than the stock pads. As said before, the pads have more of a progressive feel, not grabby like the stock rims. Just like everything else, you have to get used to it. But most of all, the front rims are just as clean as the back rims! I have heard the brakes slightly squeak twice. But I cannot tell if they are the fronts or backs. Much better that the stock pads that were continually squeaking. Hopefully they will last more than 15K. Just a thought for those of you looking for aftermarket pads...
