They have excellent stopping power for my 1500 gmc truck. I still have no dust or squeaks and it's done about 500 miles on my truck. With my old Wagner pads, my wheels would already be covered in dust and they wouldn't hold up nearly as well as those pads. I'm on steep slopes and they work very well. Where I ski, the road is very steep and long with many curves. I also have to cross a pass to get to a ski mountain with the same road conditions, so these brakes are put to the test. They worked very well and collected almost no dust!
