Just finished installing my satisfied pads over all it was pretty easy to do it myself. Brembos are really not that hard to work with. The pads work great no noise and fell really good. I ordered them direct from Satisfied they are the pro series Ceramic pads. I will let you guys know about dust within the next few days.

Are you going to bed them?

hows the pedal feel vs stock pads??

I just put mine on 2 days ago! The dust is lighter in color. I think that helps hide it more. The pedal feel is a little less then the stock pads, but good. The only thing i had trouble with was the back pads were so thick that when i put them on they were hitting the rotors. But after driving for a few miles they wore down. The front pads are making a ring on the outer part of my front rotors. Anyone know why this is?
Here is s pic of them new and some with about 20 miles on them.

i too changed the pads last week, i went with the centrics. i bedded them and yippee no noise.. less dust. but.... they do not stop as well as the stock pads. but hey, just brake early. if i were to track the car i would go with diff pads. what a breeze to install.

Bad,
Please check the install on the fronts.
It looks like metal being transferred to the rotors.:eek:
The outer ring should not be in contact with anything.
The rotors should have a nice pad transfer color, but on on the outside...
Let me know what you find out.
Bill

satisfied also offers gs5 pads as well as pro ceramic. whats the difference?? the paragraph on the web site did not explain much. any one tried the gs5 pads?:confused:

thanks

Thanks for the help. I looked at them and dont see anything other then the pad that is hitting the rotors. I called R1 concepts and they said it is normal but the back rotors dont look like that. It is not normal in my opinion. I dont know what to do!!! I dont want to kill my rotors.

Ok...lets narrow it down, does it look like aluminum or steel dust / transfer on the outsides of the rotors?
Bill

It looks like aluminum but the rotors are not scored at all. It just looks like the black oxide has rubbed off the rotors.

Well as some of you might know I do have my rims powerdercoated black so I do get the dust. There is less dust on them but I have not driven it that much I will keep you guys posted.

But, NOTHING should be touching that portion of the rotor.
How did you change the front pads?
Tap 2 pins out.
Pop out the metal pad holder
Remove pads.
Install new pads.
Tap one pin back in all the way(you can see it on the street side of the caliper). Fully seated it is close to flush.
Insert the metal retainer under the installed pin, hold the retainer down so that it is under the remaining pin.I am assuming that you did not unbolt the caliper etc.
Not being a smart a$$, but something ain't right.
