These pads did NOT live up to the hype. They produced a lot of brake dust and only lasted 18,000 miles on the front of my Jeep Wrangler before wearing out completely and clogging my rotors. And no, I don't drive with my foot on the brake or use the brakes excessively. I have replaced them with Hawk HPS pads which I hope will last closer to the 30k-40k miles I used to get from Raybestos before they started manufacturing in China.
