I've got about 1k miles on Stazi's brakes and ATE blue fluid and they're pretty good. Initial "grap" isn't as good as my friends new Intrepid with 4-wheel disc (for example), however I think this has more to do with pad material than mechanical default. I've noticed, especially on exit ramps, that moments after initial application the braking ability becomes much more effective. Indicating, IMHO, these pads like some heat. I think this is great as they're less likely to fade in spirited driving; a type of driving illegal in an Intrepid
I'm very interested in the difference SS lines will provide and will put them on at some point.
Oh, the initial break in period on the Bendix was quite lengthy. I did the procedure where you increase speed and pedal pressure gradually to season the rotors immediately after installation but it was a good 300 miles before the pads hit their stride. HTH.
