OOOOOh, that's a tough choice probably the squeal they seem to be a sign of a larger problem with tighter tolerances and bigger money to make it go away,It's not like you can ignore it. Ever hear that brake squeal and look over at the car next to with disgust, just to realize it's not his car doing it??

Yup, nothing like a anguished howl of performance pads when cold, makes you so popular in traffic. Ever forget to warm them up and nearly run into someone?

Honestly I'd have to research them, I'm assuming you're looking for a good balance of all out braking performance without a lot of harshness and noise. So how hard to you drive the short bus on a 1-10 scale?

For the most part yes, so you're saying you drive like a grandma lost in the Baja 1000, right?

I think that would be a five, yes. Getting back to your original question, I'm still going to look at them and see which ones I'd use. Ever have a day when you're being pulled in several directions at once?
