I use them. IMO they are worth the extra money. A LOT less brake dust.

Just don't use them on the rear brakes if you go to the track often and don't have a line lock. When they heat up they grab more.

They don't stop as well as semi metallic pads. Lots less brake dust. So do you want to stop better or wash the wheels less? I have them on my truck and will probably buy them again.

I bought them for the front and rear but have only replaced the fronts so far. Now the rear wheels are allwys dirttier than the fronts. It does require more pedal force to stop from high speeds but they do preform consistantly.
