While I like the rotors, the pads are rubbish. I had to sand down the paint on the lugs to get the pads to slide into the clamps and they are still too tight, braking performance varies from great to poor during my commute due to brake temps which I understand. Please note that due to frequent stops and traffic, my commute to work takes 30/40 minutes to cover only 10 miles. For the first few days I took a break and calmed down. The pods are very soft to the touch and after doing some research I saw on the internet that they are called peanut butter pods. I bought good ceramic pads just to replace them. The calipers are okay, but they don't feel like a real upgrade.
