First I fixed the link in the first post to link to the new article location, thanks for bringing that to my attention.
Second here are my comparison to stock:
1) No discernable braking difference on the street during daily driving, they stop plenty well as they should, but so does the stock pad.
2) A LOT less brake dust than the stock pad - cleaning wheels is now a breeze
3) Limited track testing showed very good stopping power, but a different "feel" than the stock pad, perhaps less initial bite than the stock pad but then progessively getting more bite to where the stopping power exceeded stock pads.
4) Still too early to judge wear rates.
5) Noise - none whatsoever a very quiet pad.
