    I'm slightly confused. It says " 15% off on orders $149 or more" but the pads cost nowhere near that. Is it 15% an entire order that's $149 or more? Or is it 15% off the pads only after you spend a total of $149 or more?

    lol I was confused too, but I just needed the front pads and I got them for $70 and $5 for shipping and a lot of other vendors have the same pads for over $110 plus shipping.

    Yeah something doesn't seem right with the ad, I ordered some a couple weeks ago for my sister (I run these pads on my HP2s as well) and just added other little things I needed anyway to get over $149.


    EDIT: By the way I love these pads, the dust is almost non-existent and are quiet with good stopping ability.

    No, I haven't used these pads yet. I did a lot of research and finally made decision to use these after hearing people's comments about them. Also, I didn't want to deal with the "bedding-in" process, which really isn't a big deal, but Akenobo said you didn't have to with these pads. These pads will go on my wife's S4, with one HPDE a year.

    This is what I heard about them. Basically, better than stock without the dust.

    Hmmm. I might have to take these into consideration. I was originally looking at EBC RedStuff pads...

    Funny thing is, I looked at the EBC pads too, since I just bought EBC rotors. These pads, along with other pads were hit or miss. There are probably better pads than the Akenobo, but most people didn't have an issue with them. I think these pads will be good to use on the safe-side.

    If the pads start squeaking or feel like crap, my wife won't let me live it down. :)

    Then you just have to tell her it's the turbo going bad and you need the upgrade. :)
