^i decided to give them some break in time before officially calling them "bad".

the warped/*clunk,clunk...clunk* has gone almost all away but has turned into a decent Squeal now upon mild breaking when almost coming to a stop.

i am pleased with the initial bite and performance, i just wonder if there was an uneven spot in the pass outer pad since i had a uneven wear mark.

the pads are good pads, there were just some unusual characteristics that popped up that no one had described when they first experienced the pads.

thanks!

 

I did mine a month ago and it never clunked.

 

Sounds like you just pulled the old pads and installed the new... leaving the old pad compound on the rotor. That IS the best recipe to make any dissimilar pads make noise. Sometimes you get lucky and the old compound wears off without bonding to the new... but not often.
