Paired with new Zimmerman X Drilled rims on my 2001 Porsche Boxster base. Still in the laying phase. I haven't quite cracked them yet. But no creaking. The brakes feel a little less grippy than the earlier Pagid, but that may be due to the break-in period or the new brake disc. I'm not sure about the brake dust yet as the wheels are still dirty from the previous pads. Will be updated soon
