LOVE the green stuff. Had em for about two months now, minimal brake dust on my rims - unlike my stinky stock ones... slotted rotors.

Couldnt be happier. We experienced some grinding when first installed...it stopped after a week...

I've been told by a brake expert that you are suppose to heat up your brakes when you first get em installed and then let em cool down for up to eight hours... he said it helps everything fit better... I dunno - he was the expert. Like - drive em immediately for half an hour, with frequent braking? I'm not sure how that works...but either way, he said that it'll help the pads last longer.

Wish I'd known that pre-installation time.
