mine were like this so i changed for diamond black ones... from 2modified.

they are a lot better. and my car will actually stop when i ask it too rather than some time after i actually brake lol.

im goign to do this 2 ! but it just seems a waste as there hardly warn ! they felt better when the other pads were runnnig low than these ! vx said its fine and would pass an mot on the brakes stopping power !

but its anoying when u ask the car to stop and it says no wait until a feel like it !
