Major brake fade even on semi hard stops.
Inconsistant grabbing power on each side.

I only ask because I have installed these exact pads, front and rear in both my 98 GTP and my wifes Buick Regal a month or so ago, and I like them so far. GTP has 12" fronts but Buick is stock 11".

The rotors are young and in good shape.

I did a pretty good brake in.

No formal procedurel, just 60-10, 60-5, 60-10, and a long cool down before stopping completly.

I have broken in many many pads in my time, but this is the first time I have used these.

They are safe, but just don't feel as good as the last (cheaper) set I had.

Strange.. Although I have no personal experience with those pads.. Ive been using Raybestos Ceramics for as many brake jobs as I can remember.
