yeah, they work great! changing the pads was easy, also. I got them for about 88 bucks shipped from ebay. just search the part number (listed in first post) and make sure to look for a reputable dealer. They work great, but squeak, although i was told performance brake pads like these usually do squeak anyways. Ill have to "bed them in" when I get a chance.

seems to be fien so far, but I have noticed the stock rotor is getting "ridgy"...idk if that was before or after these brake pads.

do you hear some grinding noise when you install your S tech Tein springs? If so, what did you do to eliminate those?

Im in desperate need of pads and new rotors up front, I tihnk the rotors are pretty much shot, along with the brakes pads. Got 100000kms out of them so it's time to change them up and upgrade.

Is there a way to get them to stop squeaking? I have the same ones, and I hate hearing that! Sounds like I need new brakes, when I have new brakes.

i heard you have to "bed in" the pads. here's a link to the instructions, but i havent done it yet, so idk if it will make them stop squeaking.
