Hello Roger:
I've heard from both sides, some, as you, are happy with the breaking, others like me, have
had some unhappy experiences with stock brakes. I'm sure both are correct, but the Kevlar
pads seem to make so much of an improvement in my car's case that I'm very happy with them
and would recommend them to anyone who's concerned. I'm not trying to imply that everyone
should switch over to them, just that it's something to consider if someone does have a
problem similar to mine. Of course, something else could be going on with my system I'm not
aware of, but for the last few months the improvement has been dramatic.

Thanks for the input.

Regards,
Steve Sage
