UNEEK Pads and Rotors

How many of you guys have bought and installed the pads and rotors that UNEEK is selling? If you have them, how do you like them?

I just installed a set of front and rear pads and rotors and I am not happy with the results at all. I would say my braking is about 50% worse than it was before I installed them. I even went as far as rebleeding the lines to make sure is wasn't something wrong with the install, but everything was fine.

When we were re-bleeding the lines, we removed one of the front pads and it was glazed all to hell. At that point in time they had maybe 10km on them and I didn't drive the car over 60km/h and didn't brake hard at all. I had to put the pedal all the way to the floor to make the car stop from 70-80km/h.

Let me know what your experiences are so I can decide where to go from here. I wanted to hear from you guys before I talked with UNEEK about this.

I had them on my SS... I liked them fine. They helped fight off fade a little bit but that was about it as far as improvement and they didnt warp in 10k miles like the stock garbage. My pedal was really soft and felt weird for a couple days... You have to drive it until all that coating wears off the rotor surface.

Ok, maybe that is what is happening with mine to then. I'll drive it for a few more days and see what happens.

mine were soft for like 3 days and made noises for 3 days then after that they were fine. Now after about 10 thousand miles, they have a habit of squeling once in a while but tons of pad left, not so much rotor left though. they are good for the money i guess. I think next time around im going with something better though.

i have the same issue. the brakse are soft as hell. i have to go to the floor before i feel resistance. is it because i twisted in the rear caliper psiton too far? or does that return to normal once you slip it over the brake pads and get the car running?

help!
