Dislikes: Cons: Maybe it's okay for city driving, but it definitely should not be considered "performance" pads.

Other Comments: It makes me want to spit on my own car after driving with them on. I adjusted the e-brake, made sure everything's cool and stuff cuz I thought I made an error in the installation, but no, these pads are horrible.
First, it squeeks when cold. Of course, all performance pads squeek, but these pads squeek forever. The ENDLESS pads that I had squeeked only when I was exiting my driveway. Okay, I can take the noise, np, then I continue to really test the brake pads. 40mph downhill roll, braking up to the point right before locking - took about 4 car lengths. Endless pads took about 2 car lengths under the same conditions.
As for the rear pads, I tested them by lifting my ebrake all the way up, then slightly gassing in 1st gear to see if it holds. It made nasty as hell sounds as my car pulls forward. |
