I have them. In my opinion they suck and have a lot of brake dust. I had VGX pads before these and they stopped better and felt better, but did not last all that long. I'll be trying something else in my quest for brakes that actually work on my truck.

I would be very interested in how the Titanium pads work out. What kinds of driving do you do and how are the pads holding up?

Is anyone using Raybestos pads? I've heard those are good.

I only have about 1500miles on the new "titanium" pads. So far so good. No dust! I love that part. And cheap... $32 bucks. I hit the binders pretty hard sometimes so we'll see how they hold up.

I can't remember who it was in the forums... I think the user's name was eduk8er or something like that. He had over 20k miles on those titanium pads and loved them. We're holding up good for him.

You really can't go wrong with these things... $32 bucks... if you don't like'em put something else in... not hard to change.

Just make sure to get new rotors or turn the ones you have so the new pads (whichever brand) wear in properly without glazing. And follow their instructions for seating the pads. Something like 6-8 easy stops from 30mph, let cool at least 1hr, then take it easy for first 100 miles.
