The name is good, a set of front pads are about $100.
The only problem is that they are made in China by Brembo.
I think I am going to let you be our crash test dummy here.
I guess the question is, for what? I wouldn't be buying them for track work, or serious mountain driving, without a green light from trusted sources. Do you know the heat range they work in, that would be a good starting point, then you can ask about friction coefficient and pedal pressures, and hope that as long as you stay inside their heat range they aren't going to fade. Dust is also a consideration, especially if it is sticky and/or corrosive.
For me, I know what works and I will stick with that, unless and until the cool kids come up with a superior pad that is also cheaper!
