Anybody have experience with this type of pad? I've seen the damage EBC pads can do to our rotors compared to OEM, don't know anything about these.

I put on pads that were similar to those a couple of years ago.  It constantly sounded like I had a rock stuck in the caliper.  The noise drove me crazy.  I decided to switch back to OEM after a couple of months.

Just did my brakes and went back to OEM from EBC, So far I'm convinced I'll never use anything but OEM . They just seem to be a smoother feel and NO noise!  If you try those pads let us know how you like them.

I don't know if this is the same "type of pad," (both kevlar) but I've been using these for 7,000 miles and have no complaints.  Priced right at $30 for two complete sets for the front.  No help on the rear pads.
