    I run these on mine and love them on the front...
    I have never been able to get them to run on the rears though as they squeek like your brakes do when they are real low. Even tried to call them for help and they sent me new brackets but it didn't help. Anyone else had that problem and what did you do to solve them. Never had an issue with the front ones and they really cut down on the brake dust!

    I tried them on the rears, same problem, they sent me the new parts, identical to the old parts.
    Tossed all in the re-cycle bin, gotta love the painted on Faux bolt heads.
    They are truly ghetto.

    I had the sound issues on the back. I took them off and reinstalled them making sure that I got everything tight. Basically I had the sound for about 20 miles until the stainless clips wore grooves in themselves and now no more sound but also very little brake dust!

    I tried that, but after the second set still squeaked and I drove for about 20 miles I couldn't handle everyone looking at me like my brakes were shot.. so I took them off

    I'm thinking anything over the calipers is going to hold in heat and make brakes boil quicker.
    Moving on.
    If you do use them, maybe a little brake squeal silicone between them and the caliper. Used to put on pad backing plates to damp them from squealing.
