I've had them for 250 miles (so I could do the first break in period) and the pads are holding up very well, much better than stock or cheap replacements from most dealerships They are great in that respect. The extra brake dust is a bit annoying, but it's worth it because the brakes are better and the wheels can be washed more often. However, I find this squeaking extremely annoying and hope it stops soon. I don't understand why it has to be so bad for so long. I wouldn't mind if it wasn't such a loud squeak, but if I knew it was going to get that bad I'd put up with it, buy Black Magic brakes and be done with it. While they hold up very well, enough for me to deduct just one star for trouble, I'll choose BMB next time.
