well its only been 2 days, but in te other brakes 2 days and the wheels wouldabeen gettin dark already with the original brakes. so far so good, NO SQUEEKING at all, its great, the squeeking before was so embarrassing and no dust as well. performance wise, u can tell the difference, but i like these better, the original ones were to sensitive

Just to let everyone know that Today I had my car in for service and they said they couldn't change the brake pads becasue i only had 2mm left on them. I was like thats BS. They wanted to charge me $300+ to replace them. On the TSIB it says nothing about how much needs to be left. So I called Corporate and opened a case with them. Its going to take 2 business days to get back to me. Once the dealership calls me back,(fixing the drivers seat) I am going to tell them about the call I made. I have 20K on my car in for 20K service

exactly. I used to wash my '91 Porsche 911 & go out for a "spirited" drive, and come home and see the brakes covered in dust. I would smile and go, "that was fun."
