I then followed Stoptech's carefully crafted procedure for seating the pads-an important item for developing the correct pad/rotor surface condtions. That was about 5,000 miles back, and the system works really well; no noises, very smooth braking, very little dust on the front wheels. I took it to a High Performance Driving Event at Sear's Point in June, never been on a track, was a total "newbie", and had a great time; brakes never were a problem but, I have to say, I likely never exceeded 70% of the car's ability (if that much!). Oh, yeah-had the brake fluid replaced and the system bled-including the ABS unit(important). I believe i made the right decision. Good Luck!
