....this past weekend. I pulled off the OEM pads which are quite and stop, what I would say, very efficiently. I put the EBC greens on all 4 corners and finally got my summer wheels/tires back on. That brake dust was beginning to etch the alloy wheels and I do keep up with cleaning them, but, its harder in the winter months. I've only got about 200 miles since but the dust is significantly lighter. I'll be putting some miles on this weekend. The wife says that do squeal a little bit. One thing that I did do that some may not is I broke them in very hard....successive stops from 60/65 down to 5 - about 10 - 12 times. The rotors are already smoother than what I had with the OEM pads. Stopping distances are at least as good as the OEMs, possibly better. About $150 (w/shipping) and a couple of hours well spent.
