At 32,000 miles, my OEM Brembos still had about 50% left, with even wear and no scoring on the rotors. I was really getting tired of cleaning off brake dust constantly, and the rears had developed an annoying squeal at low speed braking (my guess from doing burnouts at the Mopar Nationals, since the squeal appeared during that trip). I went with Satisfied Pro Ceramic pads for the SRT, about $150 (including shipping) for the set. Very reasonable.
My bud Scott put them on for me (YEAH Harris Automotive!!), warning me about being careful to let the brakes self adjust and being sure to do the bed in procedure. And he warned about them squealing for a time until they bedded in.
First, Scott had no problem putting them on, so it's something you can tackle on your own if you've done this before, or have somebody whose done it give you a hand.
Second, there was zero issues with braking force immediately after install. I had good braking immediately that became excellent within the first few applicationd of braking.
Third, the bed in procedure was easy, and I had absolutely no squealing from the pads, and haven't had any crop up in the month I've been driving on them.
And last, they feel really good, I think better than the OEMS. I cleaned the wheels as Scott did each brake and they look pretty much the same as when I cleaned them, especially the fronts. Wow, I really like these pads!!
