My whorage to M Performance continues, and I picked her up today after getting the M Performance brakes installed.
My stock brakes were great for DD, but I didn't think they'd hold up well to some light autox, and frankly, I also wanted to fill up those wheels...
I've driven on them for a hundred miles and wanted to report some impressions that are surprisingly contrary to others:
1. Pedal modulation is great. I felt like the stock setup was more on and off, this is more geared towards late, deep-drive braking, where you can adjust the pedal accordingly. Very similar to my Evo VIII. Not squishy like others have stated.
2. Initial bite. I guess my install was done correctly, Not light or weak like others have stated.
3. Pad noise. I have none, these are great pads. Only a hundred miles of city driving, so not expecting too much. I'm still bedding them in (did some 70-50 stops, some 50-30's, and some 50-0's), but I would imagine these pad characteristics to carry.
I love these brakes, finally feel like I'm getting to my Evo VIII's level of braking, handling, and steering (when in Sport mode that is!) with the softness of a DD when I need it.
