Honestly Danny I never had any confidence in them!!!
there was always doubt in my mind that i was going to be able to stop if i decided to push on a bit!!!!!

so far the cheap ass Apec pads are alot better and giving alot more confidence in my breaks

Might look into a few different types of pads so
