These are heavy duty pads. They stop you 20-25% sooner than OEM, which is great for my suburb, especially since I have a wife and two kids living in the house. In my opinion, this is just an additional insurance. The downside is that they generate a lot of dust and can squeak from time to time if I've repurposed my old hardware. So get new equipment. The squeaking went away with the new factory clips when I put on replacement pads. Remember that these are high performance parts and like high performance tires they will wear out faster than OEM parts. I got 18,000 from my first set on the front with 50% hill riding and the occasional tow. If you want OEM, buy OEM. If you want to stay early they will get the job done. Matched with working EBC rotors from all sides. There is a very big difference. Doesn't work as well on a standard rotor
