Don't drive mine everyday, but the strange brakes are 1st class. Depending on your driving, you can go with hard brake pads.

I have them front and back, they are top quality, better than aerospace design, well worth the money.

The Strange Brakes are "Drag" brakes and not designed to be used for street driving applications. The rotors are not designed for the rigors of repeated braking situations that street driving requires.

I wanted the Strange brakes but for the money you cant beat the Aerospace. The Strange are I think another 20lbs lighter than the Aerospace. I bought both front and rear kits cheaper that the Strange front kit. If you dont care about price get the Strange.
