These pair up perfectly with Centric rotors (get the cryo-treated rotors if you can find them). I use these on a 2009 Nissan Rogue, which uses under-sized rotors from a Nissan Sentra, but with these pads, the car stops beautifully - much better than OEM. You don't get the hard grab like you do with a set of Hawk ceramic pads, but to be honest, I prefer the nice, linear feel you get with the Centrics. The car doesn't jerk when breaking, even when the ABS engages. The other nice thing is that Centric doesn't recommend you break these pads in, so it saves you a trip to the local parking lot at night to do the typical bed-in procedure. For the price and the performance, these are hard to beat.
