I have replaced the original pads that came with my Evo X with these from Stoptech (front and rear). In everyday life, they are excellent - they do not creak, there is little dust, and most importantly, the pads behave well when braking. However, compared to the original pads that came with my Evo X, they don't have the same stopping power and aren't as good. The original OEM pads were great for their initial bite and they never faded. In everyday traffic, however, this is more than sufficient.
