Installed!

Just drove home, so 4-5 km.
They seem more aggressive during medium braking.
Will see in 10-15 days how they will appear.



The car still continues to show 6000km (I reused the sensor, forgot to buy it), what should I do, reset by the button on the cluster?

I've got them on my Mustang and they're fine.

They're quiet for what they are and stop the car pretty well (Florida doesn't get cold, though), but they throw a TON of dust.

I'd buy them again, if that tells you anything.

Also, keep in mind I'm using them on a 32-3300 pound car, not one that's 4000+. Oranges to Tangerines, really.

For the same reason a lot of clutch manufacturers use the same standard: because it sells more product. Because it's so inexpensive, comparatively, people don't complain all that loudly. You just go away, and they keep the money.
