Simply BEFORE and AFTER.
Off course, I am comparing freshly flushed system against old factory pads (10K miles on them)
and three years old brake fluid. Nevertheless, I have done many brake services on my past projects,
I never noticed any significant difference, but I really love the feel of the this brake job. The pads have really great bite, the smoothness of the braking surprised me the most. It just feels really great and solid.....even with the rotors being unchanged.
Great pads for $85, I would take them over the OEMs anyday.

I just installed these goodies......today.
FRONT StopTech Street Performance Brake Pads (part# 309.11160)
- My rear OEM pads are still about 70%
StopTech SS Brake lines (part# Front: 950.44003 Rear: 950.44504)
Brembo Sport.EVO 500++ Brake Fluid (part# 04.8164.50) 3 bottles (3x250ml)
I must say, I am very pleased with the results.
Really great initial bite, excellent pedal feel. Overall very smooth braking experience.
Noticeably improved performance. Highly recommend.....BTW $84.99 for the pads.
I washed my wheels today .......I will report on the dust in about a week.

To report back with the brake dust level.
Let me start with my experience with the OEM pads in the front and rear.
My front wheels were always about 50% more dirty after one week of driving than my rear wheels. I am sure evryone will agree with that.
Now after one week of having the Stoptech pads installed in the front and OEM in the rear.
The front wheels have nearly same level of dust as the rear ones. That is like 40-45% less dust than before. Pretty great I would say for the driving charachteristics these provide IMO and not being ceramic pads.
Next time around I am planing to switch rear ones to StopTech as well. Awesome pads.

I'm putting on new rotors & pads. The rotors say take it easy/moderate braking for 200 kilometers.
Do I bed in the brake pads after that 200 kilometers or during?
thx
