I usually don't follow all the hype but I took a chance and just installed these pads and there is a HUGEEEE difference (positive difference) in how the car performs

The jerky, clunky, grabby brake feel is completely gone, its super smooth, controlled and gradual , like it should of came from the factory

So far almost no brake dust that I can notice and I for one will never ever go back to OEM pads for the 460

I actually thought I had a control arm issue because I had a definite clunk on hard braking at certain lower speeds , which is completely gone after putting in the new pads

At first you will feel like they have no bite and are weak, but they need a little time to break in I think cause after a couple days they are a lot better.

100% recommended

I went with these pads on the BBK for the SC and have found them to be quite nice.... One aspect is the pads seem to need to be "warmed up" so being in Toronto be aware of that when the weather is colder....

Unfortunately I am STILL not finding these for my F Sport. If ANYONE can find them, please let me know. I have EBC's on order and they are 2-3 weeks out and I want to get mine replaced ASAP.
