Product review- Satisfied Pro Ceramic brake Pads

Ok, So I just ordered and installed A full set of these pads that I ordered from TireRack... I thought I'd give a review since there is none.

They were roughly $100 shipped(as part of a larger order).

I basically use this vehicle as an agressive Daily Driver, with no serious plans of track use...

After the intiial first few miles, here is my take(that will be updated in the future).

They are QUIET, they are CLEAN, and they stop just like stock. So for an affordable pad, and street use, I have ZERO complaints. No squeal, less dust, lighter dust, with no loss of brake power. I'm not sure hwo effective they would be on the track? But as a daily driver a few hundred miles in, There are no complaints as of yet.

Hey thanks for the review. I'll take your word for it and order a set on Tire Rack. I'm leaning towards these pads for their low dusting (to keep my wheels clean) and for their stock performance.

I'll post another review once I get them installed.

Okay so now I have had my Satisfied Pro Ceramic brake pads installed on my car over the course of 300 miles. The manual book says that it takes 1000 miles for a complete break-in and I think it's right.

I replaced the pads but did not turn my stock rotors as they were not scared or pitted badly. After bedding in the new brake pads, I noticed that the bite was very poor. But the performance has improved ever drive time I drive as the brake pads break in. I am almost certain that I am almost at OEM performance levels. Within the manufacturer recommended break-in period I should be riding at OEM performace levels but will a heck of a lot less dust.

The dust off these pads is not black like stock but rather light brown. Not only is the dust reduced but it's also a very fine dry dust that wipes away cleanly and easily. I'm happy with the Satisfied Pro product for the street and the price made me happy.
