Had them on my Focus - worked great. Just had them on my Evo - total crap. New, the pads were ok, stopped ok, ok on the street. Nothing great - just ok. Now after this summer - suckage. The pads did not stop very well, pad material transfer, and glazed over. In fact, they are almost mirrored. Crap in my book.

GranSport GS5 - I went back to these pads for my DD/AX compound. Stops much better. Similar to the DS2500 pads but cheaper. Mu - eh. Magic - hearing good things but have not run them. ET500s - I had an early batch...and they sucked along the same lines as the HPSs.

Everybody talks about the GS5s and GS6s, but those are only front pads, what do you guys use in the rear? Only thing I see about Satisfied puts out for the rear is the Pro series. Anybody use those?

Axxis Ultimates are ok. A little more bite than the stock, and cheap price. I would recommend the Girodisc for daily driver.

GS5/6 - I run the GS5s up front and I still have my Hawk HPS on the rear. So far a working combo. When the rears are shot Ill have to explore options.
