They have been on my Kia Soul for about a month now. Are you stopping the car? Yes / Yes. are they cheap Yes, yes they are. Do they squeal louder than a teenage girl at a One Direction concert? Yes / Yes. So if noise doesn't bother you and you just want to stop, then these brakes are for you! If you are a secret agent and planning to sneak up on someone, I would choose a different brand.
