Super clean and very low dust compared to stock pads, but the overall bite feels about 10% less than the stock pads, especially when cold. They squeal when the car is backing up which the neighbors probably dont appreciate when leaving for work early in the AM and here is usually one squeak or two from the first stop in the AM.

They are a trade off over the braking performance to get super clean wheels and most daily drivers wont even notice the bite, but will like the clean wheels.

As advertised. Zero noise, little dust, braking on par with OEM . This car is not driven hard. Wear appears to be better than OEM.

The performance is as expected with for a ceramic. Quiet and not much bite. The problem I ran into is the OEM Mini Cooper brake sensor does not fit the pad as the metal in that area is way too thick to accept the slotted OEM sensor. Not a show stopper but now I have a dummy sensor zip tied safely out of the way instead of waiting to light up a dummy light.
