Whenver I used those damned pads on my vehicles I would inevitably get the
dreaded brake shimmy up front under hard braking. These pads are much
harder and thus heat up the rotors to the point of warping. I threw away
the rotors, bought new and went back to factory brake pads and shoes, and
haven't had that problem since.
