One month update.

Still really impressed. The 1st stop from cold needs a little more pressure, these pads seem to love heat!

The feel is a vast improvement over OEM, right from the initial bite until the stop. The brakes don't grab at all, making hard braking easier and more predictable, I still feel that ABS is no longer needed. (But I will keep it for the wife's sake )

There has been no sign of brake fade at all, which is unusual due to the number of hills etc around here.

I believe that the big difference is caused by the pads, although the new discs should be helping a little too. I will continue to keep you informed as they wear, but I am hoping for great things.
