Most Liked Positive Review
Installed easily
Installed easily--a touch tight to install at times, but tapped gently into place. Installed with brake silicone on back, and they are chatter free. Noticably shorter stopping distance than OEM, but the wife got used to it easily.
Most Liked Negative Review
NOT a premium product
2004 Corolla
These pads fit ok. Drove for about a day and they seem to work fine. Not much different from what the previous owner put in.
These are your basic, average quality pads. They don't come with the installation brackets or caliper lube. While the later may not be needed, I was very disappointed that they didn't include brakets or the wear sensors with these.
The box claimed that these are premium pads--they are not premium--hence the 3 star rating. Material is listed a ceramic, but I am not sure how much of the ceramic fibers there are.
I would recommend it to a friend, but very reluctantly. It may be worth spending a little more on a truly "premium" brand.

when you say hardware not included what is the hardware you are referring to?
Verified Reply - Solomon
I'm glad to assist you! The important brake hardware that is usually not included in a pad set includes the bushings, pins, clips or slides that help support the calipers on the knuckles.
Brass clips, are they required? and what purpose? I'm think they are are wear indications and they seem to be source of a high pitch. Is there more than one way to install them. There were no instruction in box.
