i don't remember the exact speed #"s, but it's pretty much just like what you said. my first stop from 50 i almost stalled the car

if they didn't grip right away when you put them on it's probaby from oil on the rotors.

yes I did, 6-10 medium stops from 30-35 mph and then 2-3 hard stops from 40-45 mph. I had some unevenness on the pads but they have smoothed out. they stop amazingly now. They are a bit soft when cold but once they have heat they are insane. The HPS pads have a softer first bit and then grip hard.

They are marked left and right, but it should rotate low side to the front of the car
