Noisy as hell and they faded quickly. I talked to a lot of people when I had those pads on and we came to the conclusion that they were gassing so much that the pads couldn't maintain contact with the rotor. If you can imagine how it feels when your ABS kicks in multiply that by a thousand and that's how it felt through the steering wheel. You could see the steering wheel vibrating. I don't remember which compound I had but they ended up in the trash with many many more miles of material left on them. It is possible that if you run slotted or cross drilled rotors you may not experience the problems I did but I would not buy EBC pads again.
I'm leaning more and more towards Hawks right now. EBC was something I was considering, but I have seen reports similar to yours and basically want to get the best possible product for my money, so...

Thanks for the advice though
