Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Before purchasing, I had seen all the bad reviews talking about the noise. However, I had already installed the same brand model on my rear brakes, and was quite satisfied with the results. So, I ignored the bad reviews and bought this pair for my front brakes. After installation, when I test drove, there was a huge huge metal to metal clinging/squeaking noise. This noise was just while driving the car, no only while applying the brakes. Initially I thought may be I missed something. May be I didn't press the caliper piston far enough, causing the brake pads brush against the rotors continuously. Or I might have tighten the screws beyond the recommended torque. So I redid everything, by renting professional tools this time. Still the same. After careful investigation, I figured out that the pad clips were the culprit. There is a small metal portion sticking out towards the brake rotors (See in the attached picture), which touched the rotors and made that metallic clinging sound all the time. I removed everything again and with my long nose pliers, pushed that metal tongue like portion away and installed back everything and voila ... super duper quiet ride and braking. Verdict: They are good quality and really super quiet, but it took me 3 days and a ton lot of frustration to figure out the problem and to fix it. I would say its a huge flaw in their design. I would not recommend it.
