PRO
I have had these brakes for a year now. I have 22" wheels on 40" tires and they do a great job stopping me fast and hard when needed. I love the feel of the Brakes and would reccomened them to anyone who doesn't care if their wheels get destroyed in the process...let me explain.

MASSIVE CON:
After a week or two of initial driving I started to notice this brownish colored stuff sticking to the sidewalls of my tires. There was tons of brake dust (more than a German car) that I would wipe off my wheels daily, but it took me some time to figure out that the brown stuff on my tire sidewalls was also brake dust.

To reduce the brake dust I bought hawk performance, low-dust, ceramic brake pads, which did reduce dust quite a bit. But the high dust issue still existed. My discovery is that this dust is from the actual rotors themselves.

Now a year later my tires have hard-to-remove brown film on the sidewalls, and my wheels have permanently discolored and started to corrode due to the brake dust, despite my diligent efforts to wipe off the brake dust regularly.

I am now in the process of ordering Teraflex BBK to see if they are any better. I can't handle this brake dust battle anymore. My $3000 wheels are destroyed.
