I just put on my ultimates today with the help of lifewithbmw - thanks a lot sandy - you really helped a bunch. Wouldnt have been able to do it without your help. And mike's lol. Anyways, the stopping power is good, and they are cheap. I heard that they dust about 1/2 as much as OEM. They also maintain the same initial bite as OEM - unlike other performance pads which need to be warmed up. I heard it is the best street/occasional autox pad. Great price too.
