I'm ready to order the GS6 for the front but not sure on the correct part number.
Is it GS6D904 or GS6D1001?
TireRack shows GS6D1001 as the front Axle set but I think I saw the 904 sku on and Satisfied's site.
Thanks.

I installed my GS5's a few weeks ago. The bonded antisqueal shims were poorly aligned with the pad mounting holes. On all four front pads, I had to file the shim holes extensively so that they would match up well enough with the pad mounting holes to allow me to install the mounting pins. Kinda made me wonder whether the pads would perform like junk as well.
The pads have a little less initial bite than the stock Brembo pads. Its more noticeable in cooler weather (50s is the lowest so far), but no problem to stop. I sometimes get a light bit of squeal on very light application of the brakes, but no biggie. Its only been a few weeks, but it appears that dusting is less than the stock pads. Except for the lame alignment of the antisqueal shims, I'm pretty pleased so far.

I had to install the pads as the warning tab on the OEM rears was a few tenths of a millimeter away from touching down on the rotors, and I had an upcoming roadtrip. I suppose I could contact Satifisied about whether the jacked up alignment of the shims will affect brake pad wear.

I finally emailed Satisfied and received a confirmation on the front pads:
"Hi,
The Evolution model has GS6D1001
Thank you"
Amazon has them with free shipping if anyone is interested.
