just wanted to let you know what i think of the VAST upgraded pads. all they are is resurfaced OE pads, with a better coefficient of friction and lower dusting and noise. they are just starting to break in better, starting to really notice the bite. I had some HAWK HP pads on before, and these seem very comparable, I havent really noticed a difference at all, except for the $50 lower price tag. Havent been dusting much at all, and are very quiet thus far. They are by no means track pads, but i do know that they feel the same as the HAWK pads, just much lower price tag on them.

So if you needs pads at all, check out VAST performance and get the "upgraded OE pads"
