Andy dosent like them because they cracked on his dad's[i think] truck. I
have a set on my truck, and I think they are the best thing since strip
clubs. They are awesome. Better feel, they stop faster and harder, and
IMHO they don't seem to fade as much as the stockers did.. If yo uare
looking for a bargain, go to autozone, they sell Morse brand ceramic pads
for $50 or so for Gen3's. That way you even get a warranty..
