Pads seem to be very beneficial for pads. I usually use Akebono pads but I needed something quick and this was it. I bought them with new Wagner rotors and the driver's side is complete. The pad backing plate was too thick to fit in the caliper, I struggled to get it in but I got it in and now after about 100 50-75 miles my brakes are smoking too much on one side due to the skid plate . and my pad was causing uneven wear on the back of the rotor. Now I have to buy a rotor and a new set of pads.
