Apparently they warp a lot easier and wear quicker.

For the cost they are not as bad as people make out to be.

They pull up well and have not warped. I would recommend bendix hd pads with them. Just switched to these and am happy. As pazzo said for the price and performance they are a huge improvement over stock.

The dba tend to wear quick if you put aggressive pads with them. The EBC red are easy on the discs and have nearly zero dust . Its win win.
